Dare I suggest that the conclusion in Scripting News: Monday, February 27, 2023 that @dave has come to is wrong. @manton isn’t limiting the number of characters in a post, he is limiting how many of those characters get to appear in the stream. Count me as one who doesn’t want to scroll through 5,000 wor... john.philpin.com

@pratik isn’t the other way round to cheat?

@pratik @JohnPhilpin That will be funny to see if anyone cheats. Of course, the cost to cheating is you have an annoying out-of-place quote cluttering up the rest of your post. 🙂

@manton @pratik @JohnPhilpin Oh, I intend to cheat alright 😆. But honestly what Manton has come up with seems to be the best solution that adequately caters to both the opposing camps in past discussions. Love it.

Edit: I cheated already. :P

@manton @pratik @JohnPhilpin @moonmehta To all the cheaters out there, I present 600-character limit without a quote. 😇
