I feel like people don't get me. Is 3-5 quotes in one message excessive? I wouln't consider it information over-loading per se. I like sharing info if it means it could help someone expand their knowledge, or if it could be of practical use in the present or distant-future

I wish people's minds processed new information at triple lightning-speed. Like mine does! Lol

In the past I have tried to shorten my posts considerably, only for them to be widely misinterpreted or very wrong assumptions made, so I made them longer again. I'm at a happy medium now, but I know most don't actually read them.

To those I know who can handle it (typically in emails or private messages) I can write pages worth with dozens of links and videos to the point that we (since the other person is likely to do the same) have to start new threads/emails as it gets bogged down loading. Such private messages almost never have gifs or memes, btw, unless it's to dissect what they mean or otherwise analyze it rather than using them as a means of communication. ('Course comics might be shared just for fun, but even then it will likely be related to whatever we're talking about.)

3H Mercury here. I have a major "problem" in posting too much. Many will tell you my posts are TLDR (Too Long Don't Read), and the only reason I even bother anymore is because at least a few do and also share back with their own TLDR posts. (Too me others just lack an attention span, though if you look at old magazines from like 50 years ago you'll see that the media expected you to have a greater attention span and vocabulary than is expected today. I even saw an amateur magazine from the 60s that promoted LSD use and it would be too taxing on the attention span of many today, and those who did read it would have to get their dictionaries out, or bring it up online.)

Even if I come across something that isn't of particular interest to me I'll forward it to those I think would find it of particular interest, and appreciate those who do the same for me.

I also have the problem of saying far too much on here.Most of my posts are long & detailed.(Sorry guys)

I have Mercury in 9th parallel to Jupiter in 9th.Moon is in the 3rd house opposing Mercury in 9th,so I wonder if you have Mercury in aspect to Jupiter?

Jupiter in 6th or 3rd can also be very verbose.As an Sag in 3rd or Gem/Virginia in 9th.Whilst 9th/3rd Pisces can dream about or imagine themselves being more talkative etc. But not actually say much.
