I don't think it's terribly hard, even at first. The problem is it does
turn some people off. Anyhow, I've participated in many long discussions --
by Twitter standards -- that could total up to a handful of people going on
for several hundred tweets.

You can also use tools like TwitLonger and the other things you guys have
mentioned. Heck, some folks even just type out paragraphs of text, screen
capture it, and tweet the image.

In actual oral conversations, too, how often do you go on for say a minute,
lecturing someone? Hopefully, it's a rare occurrence. So, in that way,
Twitter kind of enforces how people usually orally interact. (And many an
email or text message is almost as brief as a tweet, no?)

Hoping I haven't exceeded five posts,

Dan
