There is a limit to the amount of data you can post. Its really there to prevent a post-bomb, which is the scenario where someone posts a variable of infinite length to crash the server. I think it could be made much longer. This is the first time anyone has ever hit the limit.

The thing is that Mitnick's chapter is SO long that it is a little unwieldy as a MemeStreams article. I think what you should do is recommend the actual link to the chapter with YOUR thoughs about the incident. This may spark some conversation.
