I think we all struggle with that sometimes. I did it this week. I know how I hear myself when I write but sometimes I reread stuff and realize I wasn't clear, or more likely, too detailed. I get stuck in "he said she said."
And I've been thinking about what Racer said about answering every reply. She thinks it clutters the Board. I guess one way to cut down on your writing and rewriting time would be to reply in a thread as it unravels, not go back and reply to all posts, unless there is a specific person to address. How then do we avoid hurting someone's feelings? Is this a therapuetic opportunity to do what feels best for *you* and not worry about annoying anyone else? (not that I think you are the least annoying...)
I'm sure I haven't helped at all. I just so often want to write really thoughtful replies and end up writing and deleting and then writing again. So I can sympathize.
