Could be interpreted a number of ways though, like anything else. When I see “Be succinct”, I think “Respect that it’s not your blog and don’t ramble”, which seems reasonable enough.

Unfortunately I haven't had time to write my own response on why I don't because I'm busy coordinating the challenge. For example there are occasions when it is appropriate to write long comments - sure writing a post would be better but to write a post takes even longer. But if I need to clarify my thoughts it's sometimes not possible to respond in a short comment. Another reasons I haven’t graded myself is I don’t totally agree with her points.

I tried to be honest with myself, but it's hard to really know if I was successful or not. Think I'm close. But yeah, we're gonna have to help each other with the succinctness issue!

I've had to admit I' haven't been able to give myself a grade using Gina's post probably cause it feels uncomfortable reflecting on it. Given myself some pluses and minuses -- possibly been hard on myself. So perhaps we can both work together (although not sure I'll be able to cure my lengthy comment problem)?
