Effective communication 2: Is concise
Writers and speakers have to earn attention. Readers and listeners need to be rewarded. The more time we expect them to expend the greater that reward should be.
So, effective communication should be as brief as is convenient to communicate the message clearly. This rewards the audience with maximum benefit for their effort.
So, be brief!

But not so brief as to be cryptic. :-)
