I'm not inclined to forbid people from entering comments above a
certain size. There may be legitimate uses for long comments, so I'd
rather direct users to submit long comments as attachments while still
letting them submit them as comments if they deem that appropriate.<br>
<br>
One option is to warn users if their comment exceeds a certain size.
Another is to provide a "make this comment an attachment" checkbox and
check it automatically if the comment exceeds a certain size.<br>
<br>
Let's discuss this further at the hackathon.<br>
