The usual limit for non-music copy-pastes is one screen. I went from a 19-inch screen to a 30-inch screen this year, so the limit went up a bit. There are certain threads that don't get monitored, so the over-length posts can get by unnoticed in them. I figure nobody in his right mind would go into the "Popularity of the Bush Administration" thread, or whatever it is, since it has 1300 messages. I don't know if it's a technical burden on Mudcat to have a thread that long full of ridiculously long messages, but it's there. I sure hope people don't open it too often. It looks like most of the time it's just Amos in there, talkin' to hisself.

But in general, the copy-paste stuff hasn't been the problem it once was, when people would argue back and forth without ever using their own words. That was just ridiculous.

Please remember that in general, we encourage the posting of the full text of music copy-pastes - if they come from a source other than Mudcat. We don't need or want duplication of what we already have, despite what you-know-who seems to think.
