I'm against a minimum post length.
Posting should be done in haiku.

A posting minimum will never happen. You can say things in under 15 words.

I was thinking along the same lines, though I couldn't have put it so well into words as you just have.

Personally I'd rather see a maximum length put on signatures than a minimum one on posts.

Me, being... away all the time, had no idea there was an election, but if there is a president it should be Hector because he listens to good music. Uhm, well not really, I should be president because I'm always away for 'important business'. So see? No but wait....

Anyway, Congrats Hector Berlioz!

Well, I was late in getting the joke, and I was late in finding this thread, but:

Berlioz! of course... how could i not know that?

The Teacup is NOT a spamming thread!!!

Okay - I lie

And Hector = SPAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!

You can always get passed the 15 word minimum by quoting the previous post!

Oh yeah, I forgot to name you, Lal, as my spamming partner in crime! Better say something because that only comes to 14.

Wo ul d th is c ou nt a s 1 5 wo rd s?

Also, I agree with limiting the sigs slightly, I mean you want to read short ones, but not have to choose between long long ones or none at all.

Is it really important enough to stick in the archive?

Personally I think we should hold a Constitutional Convention and limit your powers. I think you have been getting too powerful for the welfare of entmoot.
