Some people would say this thread is long. Some would even say too
long.

It is certainly longer than it needs to be, and a shorter thread would
have been bettter.

But it's not the longest thread I've ever seen, nor is it certainly
the shortest.

But then, my memory is short. I often wish it were longer.


Your memory is neither long nor short. Memory has no length. It simply has
purpose, the operation of remembering.

Time, arguably, has length. It is true that memory may be able to operate
only on the recent past time-span, and not on the long past time-span as
well ....but what is worse: even if it can operate on a long past time-span,
that operation may be innacurate.
