    You did a good job with this posting. It was sweet, to the point and effective. Thank you:

    An Argument for Brevity:
    Lord’s Prayer = 56 Words
    Twenty-Third Psalm = 118 Words
    Gettysburg Address = 226 Words
    Ten Commandments = 297 Words
    U.S. Department of Agriculture Report
    On The Price of Cabbage = 15,629 Words

    The soul of Wit is Brevity
