Nifty idea!

Creating long posts is absolutely fine (as long as they are your own work of course) but when people are replying to them could they avoid the temptation to quote the whole thing.

Perhaps simply quote a small section as otherwise it tends to make the thread quite difficult to read.

An alternative might be to wrap up large sections using the hide tag.

Code:
[hide]Large section of text[/hide]
