"LOL" smilie (and perhaps some others) would have similar effect.
You are correct. I need to put it back to the default of 10 characters....


Right now the minimum is a value that can be set in a form. Changing this to do a more logical check (such as verifying it isn't just smilies) would require a hack to the code that really wouldn't be worth the investment of time it would take.

When people are writing a post that is less than four characters, they should probably consider whether their is any true value in their response. (I understand that "yes" and "no" responses may be of value, but adding a little more detail would be of even greater value).

And no, I'm not going to increase the minimum from 4.

Brad!
