Question on posting norms: What is the community standard for opening a discussion thread about an issue discussed in the sequences? Are there strong norms regarding minimum / maximum length? Is formalism required, or frowned on, or just optional? Thanks
The general rule seems to be “if your post is interesting and well-written enough, it’s fine”; hard to say anything more specific than that. No strong norms about length (even quite short posts have been heavily upvoted), and formalism is optional, but a post that’s heavy on math or formal logic will probably get less readers.
