Let's discuss the political issue of stretching the screen and making the politics forum look like "The Last Person to Post Here Wins" as in the SETI Cafe. Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. |

It's called "Little Man's Syndrome". ;-) Cheers. |

You have another 80+ characters to go in your tweet. IIRC it can be 254 long as it's a unix string and those a null terminated. |

Funny story: as I created this, one such questionable thread title greatly expanded and then contracted shortly after this thread went live.

With all the "cosmetic surgery" done on the site, one would think it a simple matter to put a character limit in place. |

Darn it! YAP is going to be so upset about his Tweeter account. He'll have to break up his twits. Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. |

Kaput? If Ozz's thread https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=81817 can't withstand arguing and getting locked, things here are just about finished. Whatever occurs, keep on crunching. [EDIT]Not a prediction of what admins/mods, will do. A prediction of dwindling participation in conversation. Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. |

Kaput? Seems there are some who can only repeat taking points ad nauseam. They have no understanding of any idea behind them, no reason for them, or any ability to discuss them. Everything but them is evil left/right filth to be hated. Difference is hate. |

Kaput? I've been around here 11-12 years. I know the history. I predict the small amount left will become far smaller still and virtually no new participants. Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. |
