Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should have no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. — Strunk & White

"Eschew surplussage," sayeth Mark Twain :)
The Elements of style was a required textbook for my introduction to journalism class in college. I recall thinking they were full of crap.
sometimes it is the writing that is necessary.
