Subject: Informative but not terribly exciting message from detoured regarding the length of posts on these boards:

Hi All!

I discovered when posting something a little while ago
that I should have done something long ago that I
neglected to do. One of the settings when I configure
these boards regards how long the posts can be. The
default setting is for 50 lines which is the minumum. I
got a message telling me one of my posts was too long.
I should have changed that setting in the configuration from the beginning. I apologize to anyone who may have written a long post and got a note telling them their post was too long. I certainly don't want to limit anything that people have to say. I enjoy the indepth posts.

So I've changed all the settings from the minimum of 50
lines to the maximum of 1000! So we now have more
opportunity to chatter on!

On another note, the default setting for the amount of
characters allowed in a subject header is at the maximum
of 500 so those who are fans of the "Nim" know why you
all have so much room! I never changed that setting
either and I will leave that as is.
Why the subject length is set at a default for the
maximum while the default for the actual post is set at a minimum is strange to me! But now all the boards are
maxed out so we can gab gab gab!

Again, I'm sorry if anyone had to shorten their posts in
the past. Please feel free to say more now and know that
you have LOTS of room!
