For that reason I generally shorten my replies somewhat just because I'm aware that the longer I take the more I'm holding other people up. That said I always make sure I still get in what I want to get in, I just perhaps cut out a tangent or two or describe things in slightly less detail.<br/><br/>That said, as always with these things, I think the key is communication. If you've got a post brewing but it will take a while to get done and you feel you're holding up other posters, let them know and see if there's a way around it or if the other players can carry on before you respond. Sometimes that isn't an option; your character is key to the conversation/action but at others times (when your character is in the background or just sort of there) the other players can normally progress things without you (and even better if you PM them a rough outline of what your post would contain so they can factor it in).
