Awright, ding dang it!!

I've been trying to post in the Status Quo Dems Uphold Reagan Republican Decision thread, but I keep getting an error saying the page is broken. I'll paste it here in case someone else can put it in for me, please.

AHA!! Something in the post itself keeps me from posting it because I just got the error when pasting it in this thread.

Any tips?

Weird. I broke the post up into 3 parts and they all went through. I guess the notifier thingie that tells you your post is too long is broken.

Or even worse ... they didn't even bother.

It is triggered by odd combinations of words so rephrasing the text or splitting it in different places can release a previously blocked post.

I generally retry by posting the first paragraph and then editing the post to add a paragraph at a time until I find the section that is causing the error then rephrasing that section.
