Define a person who communicates concisely

Attention bright sparks!

I am looking for the word that is used to describe a person who tries to communicate using as few words as possible. Does anyone know?

Also, is there a word used to describe someone who thinks through sentences in their head before talking?

Thanks
Eva

A laconic person doesn't speak much.
A terse person might be rude or abrupt.
A deliberate speaker thinks through everything before he says it.

[1] succinct, articulate

I would go with laconic. Laconic means the person uses very few words but whatever words the person chooses they are brief and to the point.

You guys are excellent!

Cheers for that, you don't know how long I've been trying to remember, it was really niggling me!
