I think this is a good reminder to thoughtfully consider how we handle edge cases.

I know that I often treat edge cases with the least care. This is certainly a situation where the opposite required.

Why do you see this as an edge case?

doctor, here. This is definitely not an edge case.

As soon as they defined that 1000 char limit, they set a hard edge. The use cases that hit that limit are then the edge cases, at least in the minds of the developer(s).

I was just suggesting that there should be more consideration of how software will be used in ways that hit limitations.
