If one writes a good abstract, the reader will then read all the details.
TMI is rarely the way to go if you wish to draw the reader into your examination of your thesis.

I ALMOST NEVER post an entire piece. I post the "essentials" which back up my point, or position.
If people are too lazy to read a few paragraphs, then that is there problem.
Maybe they should try sifting through hundreds of pages to find the precise information themselves.
I have hundreds of posts on this forum that I spent at least half an hour on, looking up information to use, from the best sources I could find.
I have dozens of posts that I spent an hour on, or more. Just looking up information that I have already read, in order to provide evidence which supports my opinion.
But it is too much to ask people to spend 5 minutes to read the information?
