How long is long?
Want to post up a long article?
It depends. I guess on readability and formatting as well. 200 words could be long - if its formatted in a narrow column. Depends on the style it is written, what we want is relatively easy to read forum speak, not academic jargon etc.

I'd say that thread is fine. But thats also his own words, not a copy and paste, which matters. Anyway that post is just over 500. So yeah I'd say 500 words max.
Think about it in terms of reading someone else's posts - would you read what you are about to post or would it be too long?
Hi RkN
I have an article I wrote last year for Common Voice but it is several thousand words long. I could post a single link to it if that is OK. It deals with the Misesean "Economic Calculation Argument" purporting to show the impossibility of economic calculation in a communist/socialist society. I would very much like some feedback on this to refine the arguments against the anarcho-capitalists
Would it be OK to post this link here?

We don't like long articles being posted into forums posts - instead, please do one of the following.
- if the article is online please post a link to it
- if it is not online, and it is suitable for our library please post it to there by clicking create content, then library entry as our library guidelines explain.
- if it is not online but is not suitable for our library, please login to http://docs.google.com (or without login at: http://paste.turbogears.org/) and paste your article there, then publish it publicly.
In your post then please summarise the article and post a link to it.
Many thanks.
