While I favor posting software that prevents certain ludicrousness, I
think it's inappropriate to apply to very brief articles.  Thus a seven
line paragraph that gets a one or two line comment is usually tolerable.

I usually don't like simple "agreeds" nor the endless puns, but witty
one-liners or brief errata are generally acceptable.
