I am a great believer that conciseness is a mark of maturity. As the biographer of Thomas E. Peck observed:
His style, both in speaking and writing, underwent a change as he passed from youth to age … The longer sentences which distinguished his style at first grew compact and often curt in his later work.

N.B. If someone writes a looooooooooong post on PB, I am nearly always less inclined to read it.
