>Is there some reason we shouldn't use more than 250 characters? I'm sure this particular barrier has been breached here on more than one occasion.Bingley, Wow was referring to the bio on her profile, which does appear to be limited to 250 characters. In "normal" postings, shanks has gone way over 250 words. And that was just the opening sentence!

Now, now, don't sell our shanks short! His opening sentences tend to exceed 250 clauses! (Salaam, Ravi Sahib)

>I used AHIP because I ran over 250 characters.
I wondered why I was feeling a bit run down. Must have been among those 250 AWADers (er characters.)

Sorry shanks, that's still only one clause (maybe heading for 250 phrases but that's another matter).

While I'm not sure of this (in this instance), the 250-character limit (usually 255) is because that is the size of a standard text field for most programming languages. Since most of this website will be built using VBScript or Javascript, it's likely that whoever put it together cut a few corners ... or chose to save space.
