@paulg why not? Too restrictive? Or is it the other people?

@mattknox The former. Though the loss in compression does tend to make you a target for those who want to misinterpret you. -
@paulg what length would stop feeling too restrictive? -
@mattknox Not that much longer. I realize it's not for essays. Maybe 2x. -
@paulg Fascinating that it's so low-I would have expected 500 or more. Have you ever _almost_ tweeted something but couldn't edit it down? -
@mattknox Yes, often. -
@mattknox But I have to be extra careful because of the hot market in PG misinterpretations. -
