Hello Moderator,

 M> The goal is to keep the message within a single post, preferably no

    Great! Please add this to the Echo Rules, James.
    I have noted various answers to how long a post can reliably be.
    85 ,150, and you think 200? Well, you've been here a long time,
    so maybe you know...
Kind regards, Barry
