Character limit in link description box

Character limit in link description box. 940 is too many; 525 is too much for my eye, but any less may be too constraining.

That post was wrong in so many ways, character limit doesn't begin to cover it.

Just curious, what was it about?

Some "leafy" guy posting about how much Volvo drivers piss him off. The link went nowhere and he basically wanted to complain about daytime running lights. Highlights of his (about 15 line) original post include "are they just stupid?" He also managed to post the word "fuck" repeatedly.

The whole thread just gave me a warm fuzzy feeling inside, kind of like drinking Drano.

Sorry I missed it (not). Thanks, K.

BTW. You are, like, SO dead in fantasy football. :-)

I hold out no great hope for Kafkaesque's Feebs. They are, after all, a bunch of Feebs. London Fletcher, upon hearing of his inclusion in my team, immediately injured himself. I expect the same treatment from Garrison Hearst et al.

By the way, my highly scientific method of drafting players depended on such factors as my wife saying "Hey! Pick that fat guy that does the Fat Guy Dance on the Saints!"

yes dear

It doesnt matter to me how long the comments are, just so long as the poster doesn't do it with multiple paragraphs. You know, so it looks like it's more than one post when you just glance at it. That drives me nuts.
