You can post more than one line, it just requires a bit of prayer.
You need a good bit of luck too.

I love this no apostrophe thing. Just because it is going to separate the hedgehogs from the foxes for sure. Which will you be? Will you cling to your contractions and train your fingers not to hit that key to the right of Enter? Or will you adopt an oddly formal syntax, even to the extent of saying the board of Tom instead of apostrophless s? Will the lack of apostrophes enforce a new politeness, a courtliness on the board?

(All right, sorry about the nonsense. Just testing how long a post I can post...)

4th try. Maybe a very short one will go through?

Hurrah! Anyone figured out the byte cutoff yet? It looks like there are still some bugs...

The no apostrophe thing is interesting. I hope it gets fixed though.
While I could eventually get used to not using an apostrophe, it has
become a habit.

No apostrophes? Ah well, I am malcoordinated enough to keep hitting semi-colons anyway, so it will just speed up my posting, I guess.
