    Oh post count whore, please tell me why...?
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    The 10char limit is a rather useful and obvious as to why it's there.
    Think posts have 10,000 char limit and PM about 1500 char.

    At least those messages make sense, they're much better than MS Word grammar message
    - "Fragment (consider revising)".
    90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.

    The REAL REAL REAL reason for the 10 character minimum is to prevent people quoting the entirety of GIJoe's posts (or mine, for that matter) and adding "Me too"...

    As mentioned its to ensure people post things that actually contribute to a thread and not just 3 word answers that mean nothing to anyone but the poster.

    If a 3 word answer is posted and it does not contriburte to the thread and is a basic "post count race" post, it will be moved to PD.

    Anyone who has witnessed the great soliloquys that pass for narratives on 250cc rides frequently posted by gijoe1313 on this forum would be forced to agree that an imposed upward limit on the number of characters allowed within a post would greratly assist in the application of restraint pertaining to verbosity.

    yep.
    People actually read all that random dribble I bash out on my keyboard while I'm in the throes of a brain fart? I just thought it was my way for mental health relief from teaching ignorant, rude buggers all day (and thats just the KBers!) ... once an English teacher ...

    Yea unfortunatly I fear for myself and KB if I let the secret loose
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    The real concern here is that you couldn't work out a logical reason or 2 for yourself.

    A means to increase the 'short attention span' of KB posters. I think it's got something to do with having ten didgets. Anything more than ten and the IQ jumps up exponenitially. Well that's my theory.
