People use so much fluff and crap filler talk...even emails I get, cherry pick information all over, cut the garbage out and a 4 paragraph email is 2 sentences.

Give information and facts and leave your stories and deep thought explanations out of it. It's useless and horribly inefficient

It's funny you say that. I'm actively working to add intro sentences to more of my emails to add "fluff". Asking how their weekend was, commenting about the weather, sharing a one-sentence story about an experience I've had, etc.

I'm trying to build connection with people and not come off as terse/abrupt. My wife calls me out for it all the time.
