[lbo-talk] 600 words

[J Cullen]

I suspect that the 600-word limits are mainly on 
websites sponsored by the print media but 
sometimes I think the personal computer and the 
Internet have enabled too many typists to produce 
3,000-plus-word essays, most of which need to be 
boiled down to 600 words.
