Perhaps we they should move it 200 characters and see how that goes. No one wants to read War & Peace in a question here, but I think 200 characters should be given a shot...

I have to agree. It would help crack down some of the more stupid comments about how not everyone/everything/everytime is the same. Of course they aren't, but we don't have room for a full legal disclamer.

Ditto.

But as questions become more complex wouldn't some people say that 200 characters was still too few?

Some people will complain about anything, and there does need to be a limit. If you set it too high, some questions will go on and on just to use it up. I, for one, am not going to read a friggin' essay just to answer a question here.
