After studying patterns of female and male communication, linguists say that women on the net post short things and apologize for the length. Men will post insanely long diatribes and not apologize at all. Another thing they say is that people with greater intelligence also make longer posts.

Yes, it's good to tell people why they should listen to your music too. I thought the title would help with that. If you're interested in how music and language are related or in pitch and interval frequencies then read it. If you're not intelligent enough to maintain your concentration long enough to read or understand the title then no one can help you.

There's a lot of stuff I'm intelligent enough to read, but I still have to make a conscious choice about whether I will spend my time (which is less than infinite, unfortunately) on it. In a case like this, on an internet forum where nobody has an obligation to read anything, and where nobody knows who you are or whether you're likely to be up to anything interesting, it's very much your responsibility, not mine, to convince me to make that choice in your favor. Your last post demonstrates quite articulately that you refuse to fulfill that duty, or even to acknowledge that you ought to, considering the nature of this medium, and that it is you, not we, who are failing to communicate.

I apologize for the length.

Is this your answer for all posts including mine? Depending on your answer I would be interested in rereading your presentation all the more and engaging in discussion...

Or did you just make this post to show off your graph and boast?

And I hope your not so intelligent that you don't understand the power of concise and clear communication for the benefit of an engaging discourse. That is, if you were truly interested in sharing this material and having a good discussion regarding your efforts.

It isn't an issue about intelligence, it's an issue of necessity.

Your title gives us no real direction. We may have a general feel for your idea (we don't) but we don't know where you plan to head with your idea. That is why writing a paragraph or even a sentence forecasting your writing would beneficial.

The simple fact is that intelligent people can become bored with poorly designed writing. Rarely anyone reads word by word, people like to scan the pages and find the relevant points and read that.

If your writing was simply wonderful and the topic was an interest of me (and it is but your writing isn't) I might be inclined to read word for word your little post here.

Instead of replying with aggressive remarks, condense your writing and get to the point more quickly.

As a side note, I managed to read all of this during my lunch break. At the end, I thought to myself, what's the point?

wow people, this isn't a freaking open market and the initial post wasn't a sales pitch.

If you didn't read it, good for you. Get over yourselves.

It isn't about selling or buying. It's about clear communication.

Yes, even on the internet there can be a point. The purpose of a forum is to discuss, and for discussions to take place, clear communication must occur. Failure to clearly communicate purpose is our lost. I believe people can learn from each other and I think I can learn from his topic, but I found it so hard to read. I am just expressing my desire for the author to write more clearly and giving him or her ways to do so.

You need to advance your knowledge of group theory before much of this begins to make sense. Some groups you consider are rather monotonic and thusly the results you "derived" are trivial.

Update: That's to be expected. You relate and mistook a concept to be one thing when in reality should've been something else. I suggest focusing on the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) rather than the actually letter. There exist a better and more pronounced relationship between the sounds we make using language and music itself. I think that is what "scientist" mostly were referring to.
