The reason it was long was because this one dictated it.  I rarely like to post long posts so you should not expect it to continue.  

Let me say, as vague as i can,  that this particular post will prove to be important for the first part of the story and it ended up much longer than I would have anticipated originally.  In the future it will be much more short, sweet, and to the point.  That much i can assure you all.  

It's not like i like writing massive blocks of text for no other reason than to hurt eyes and minds ;)
