In reply to the discussion: Yet Another Original Post about Too Many Other Posts about Something [View all]Saviolo
(3,321 posts)51. Lengthy and wordy post
That has something to do with something tangetically related to the original post, with a great deal of wordy concern and information largely taken from articles provided in link form: http://www.boredpanda.com/faces-of-foxes-roeselien-raimond/
Along with lots of excerpts from the article that are not as relevant as the poster thinks:
This para is about something else entirely, but is needed for a little bit of context for the linked article and its tenuous link to the original post.
This para has the small snip that the poster liked in it.
This para is only here because not including it would have made the excerpt end too abruptly

Too much of that around DU these days, and everyone knows the "reason" behind them.
