Prof. Froomkin makes a valid point. If there's a need for brevity in the
remote comments, how about setting a word limit, e.g., 250 words, which
then places the editing and summarizing decisions in the hands of the
submitter, not the recipient. Those who feel a compelling need to say more
have the choice of submitting additional comments or finding their words
edited by someone in Santiago.
