OK, I&#...Hi, Karen, "Unknown" is Martin. OK, I'm not sure if I make the distinction you do between the two words, but I see your point.

Concise and tight are very similar, but I think of conciseness as choosing the right words to say something, whereas tightness as cutting all unneeded words. Just my take on it.
