you wonder some excellent things. i hope that you are actually retaining some of the info from this site so that you can help others in the future.
sloppy? well, it should have more straight-line stability, be less twitchy/nervous/squirrelly (ie more straight-line stability), and adopt slower "corning" characteristics.

good intuition wheelhot. it certainly can have this effect. however, in my opinion, this should
not be a primary reason to lengthen travel. if it is, then i believe you are going about your suspension tuning the wrong way or you have been misinformed.

stop hanging out in Foo. you will rot your brain.
