Maple syrup

Maple syrup is made by boiling the sap from maple trees until it is reduced to a very concentrated sweet syrup.   The reduction in liquid is as high as 50 litres of sap down to 1 litre of syrup.  At the end of the process you get the good stuff.
When communicating, please do everyone a favour and provide only pure maple syrup vs. a bunch of sap, can you imagine eating maple tree sap to get the enjoyment of maple syrup?  Please stop feeding it [sap] to others.
Communication, verbal and written, should be as succinct and as tight as possible.  Use the least amount of words to get your point across.  After you have written something, review it and reduce it.  Challenge yourself to shorten every sentence and every thought down to simple, direct and concise language.
Just the good stuff please.

Hope I made my point (153 words).
