that being i wish iHub would limit the number of characters allowed in a post so that those like Ann's that fill up many times about 5 screen fulls are not allowed.
NO!!!!! That's one thing I hate about Yahoo and a few other chat sites.
There is a simple solution to your problem: Ignore any post you feel is too long. Some people (like Bob) like to post long messages, and some people like to read them. Others post long DD posts and other information. Long posts are needed.
