This is possibly due to the nature of forums and how I use them. (IIS is the only forum I regularly use.)
Long paragraphs may also cause me to skip a comment. I find it easier to read a post with 5 short paragraphs than one with say, 3 long paragraphs.
So I sometimes miss constructive/helpful information. Which is a pity, for me.
Are other people inclined to skip long comments?

I have to agree with Ray. The length of a post has no correlation with its value. Assuming it's a topic of interest I'm happy to invest some effort in reading a long post. I'm even willing to think about it sometimes
