I find that I will read most posts, but when a single post contains more than 4 or 5 paragraphs, lots of links, excerpts from articles, etc., I just tune out. It really doesn't have to anything to do with the subject matter; it is more a case of information overload. When I see that much "stuff" in one post, my brain switches to the "off" position (which makes me feel slightly guilty since someone obviously put a lot of time and effort into it).
