I used the counter on my MS Word program. I don’t count well generally.

dang: you all have way to much time on your hands to be counting characters. I have grass that needs mowing come on over and I will put everyone to good use somewhere!

Well, that’s true, David. The least little criticism produces reams of response, which I usually think is hilarious. But then I’m always the one accusing the evangelicals of bumper sticker theology, which goes to show that you just can’t please some people.

That’s because we realize, Caleb, that most important religious points cannot be truly discussed in “soundbites.” (Dang, 143 characters!)

Caleb, this Mormon wonders how often you count characters in responses.

Frank, your problem sounds like a class action in the making . . . if they did it to you, they no doubt did it to lots of other people, too.

As to the Mormons, though, I’d think that while the 140 character limit on Twitter might well give the anti-Mormons enough room to take a few potshots, if the Mormons tried to reply by twitter, they’d be doomed, cause every Mormon response (to anything) I’ve ever seen has FAR exceeded 140 characters.

As does this post, come to think of it. (488 characters unless you count the spaces, which make it 598) Which may explain why I don’t have a twitter account.
