Joe Offer,

Remember the time I needed another character or two squeezed into a thread title, and you helped me out? Thanks. I'm glad you are able to do that.

I'm also glad we HAVE a limit on thread title lengths, and I don't care how it was calculated. Just having it encourages me to be as concise as possible.

In my five years or so as a member, there has only been ONE occasion that I can recall, where the title length has been too short for what needed to be included for the title to make sense. Even in the Spirituals, which sometimes have LONG song titles I want to clarify with a second partial title-- it's working just fine.
