   I haven't seen you use it very much.   :/

   That is a bit annoying especially if one has spent time to     
   craft something witty and profound but a simple re-edit would     
   undo it.

   But then why not build it so that it extracts predefined text     
   (that is known to fit) in that space?   
      
   I am just having trouble understanding what exactly the     
   designer had in mind to put in there each and every time.

   OK, sure..  nice, short and simple. But wouldn't it make better     
   sense to craft different versions of it so that you can pick     
   them from a drop-down or something?   
      
   Case in point.. I thought I'd enter "Que Cera Cera, Comme Se     
   Comme Sa, Oobla Dee Oobla Daa" ..but it wouldn't fit.  So, the     
   writer wastes time entering something until it does fit - or     
   not bother using it at all.   
      
   When I entered the shorter version as per below, I noticed a     
   spelling mistake in the body of the message.  Going back to fix     
   that "undoes" the crafted adhoc one, and I have retype it.   
      
   The designer had *something* in mind for its REGULAR use so     
   that there were no incidents like re-entering that text.
