It's that long on purpose. We've found that people who will read all that text end up being highly intelligent, mature, friendly people who do well in our group. And that people who make fun of it don't have the kind of attitude we want around. You can consider yourself in that latter group. See? It saves everyone time. Only folks who might do well will read that and fill out an app. And people with an attitude like yours just make fun of it and don't bother. Isn't it just peachy? Serendipity at its finest!
