Gregory makes it indeed confusing for people having another mother tongue than English (I am one of them): by using too many words.
What I understand is (can native speakers tell me if I'm right or wrong?):
Limit of 100 words would be better. I doubt it. If you are allowed to attach a picture (far more than 100 words) you could be able to show what you mean even to people who can read nor write.
These were indeed less than 100 words (excluding the quote :)).

What, short on disk space? I have missed most of the thread. Can someone explain why 100 words should be a limit?
