Well, shorter rather than too long, but then again, I like to see 
more details than fewer regarding what went wrong, or what went 
right.

As someone else replied; it depends a lot on the circumstances of the 
incident itself. Some are pretty straightforward and not a lot of 
exposition is required. Others are more complex, and require more 
explanation....

So... some short and concise and other longer and more detailed.

I think that means the ball is back in your court. <g>
