how many words?
 
I'm trying to post our Krakow eating places for Kristi. I know it's been said before, but... What's the maximum word count for a single post, please? Thanks Kathy

Urban legend -- and my experience - - says 500. Don't know if that is precisely true - - but I try to stay under 480-ish and that always works for me.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>[email protected]<BR>

Thanks Rex, My count was around 380, so I'll try posting it again. Kathy

I don't think there is any standard -- it's a lot different at some times than others. I don't know what it depends on, time of day, traffic or something. Some days I have had to chop posts into very small bits of only about 10 visible lines -- others can be several long paragraphs. <BR><BR>If it won't post after a couple tries, that may be why. It seems really bad on Sundays for some reason, but that could be random.

To jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war.<BR>Sir Winston Churchill, speech (1954)<BR><BR>Perhaps Dubya could learn a thing or two from the great war hero himself.

kathleen - My experience is that you can post about a screen worth at a time.<BR><BR>Kate - In 1940, Hitler, after occupying France, offered PM Churchill the option of guaranteeing not to invade Britian if he would acknowledge Germany's hegemony in Europe. Did Churchill jaw-jaw? Hell no. He had enough of &quot;peace in our time.&quot; <BR><BR>Peace does not come with appeasement.

Thanks to all who answered. I did manage post my &quot;very wordy&quot; reply to Kristi yesterday. Next time I'll keep it short. Kathy
