What's the 420 character limit?

[PotvinGuy]

I just got a warning that my msg was over 420 characters. Whats the deal?

Well, I certainly don't understand. For example, I looked back at one of Ferg Daddy's posts and it had about 145 - 150 characters per line, 14 full lines and a few shorter ones. Advanced mathematics tells me this alone is over 2000 characters. Are you making the correct facial expressions when you type?

A private message you were sending, or a post message like this one?
Knowing that will help me figure out what the issue is.
