| Mar 25, 2014 at 12:33 | comment | added | Kai | @CodesInChaos I agree, but the gamification of SE means there's already many much better reasons for posting a long comment as an answer (comments don't earn rep) - if it answers the question. If it doesn't answer the question, then it wasn't suitable to be posted as an answer anyway. Let's say this very comment I'm typing here hits the character limitation. Right about... (cont) ... here. Obviously, this comment is not suitable for posting as an answer. I'd just have been forced to introduce an arbitrary break. Awkward. | |
