Xeno, I can't tell if you're joking or not. Are you? And if yes, then may I ask what you have against short, snappy replies? We can't all write the way that you do. Or the way that Ravi does, for that matter. Or the way that...you get my drift. Jeez, we got the 50/week limit. turq doesn't want posts that are too long. Now you don't want short posts. Richard doesn't want posts that are all about one person! Seraphita doesn't want any rules! I say enjoy the buffet, taking the items you like and leaving the rest for others.
As for forcing people to think, well honestly that doesn't even sound like you. Right now, it is so hot, even with the AC on, it's difficult to muster the energy to think clearly much less profoundly. ________________________________ From: Xenophaneros Anartaxius <anartax...@yahoo.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, July 19, 2013 1:32 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: A short history of the FFL Posting Limits, for Seraphita I have always thought on forums etc., it would help to have a program to scan the input, and reject anything shorter than a certain number of total characters, a certain number of sentences, and a certain number of paragraphs, and perhaps a certain minimum grade level of comprehension. That would get rid of the short snappy comments people snap off, and force them to think or drop out.
