    I don't have patience to read articles that begin with the formation of the Earth and work their way up to the topic of today.  That's one of the reasons I don't read the New York Times.  Bottom line it for me or I go right past it.

    I have a family member who can make a one-sentence answer a whole paragraph.  It wears me out.
