I think the thing shouldn't mess with the post anyway, it seems
prudent to preserve the integrity of the original post instead of
manipulating it - snip, snip. If we were here posting novels all day,
I say the desire for automatic machine-abridged versions is arguable.
And I think it goes into the area of making a policy auto-decide which
bits of the 140 characters are deemed "not desirable".
supposititious conceptualization ==> {snip,snip} ==> fake idea
I believe there is a limit to the post text, and if the URL causes the
post to exceed the determined character length, I'm not sure that
shortening it on the inbound makes sense.
