Since it may be an hour before someone sees this, I'll just ask.
- Is http://www.lettercount.com/ with character count mode selected a solid tool for checking character counts?
- Is 3-5 days an acceptable time limit?
- I've been imposing input restrictions on questions and some people choose not ignore the restriction. The most refined verbage I have is "may be provided from stdin, read from an arbitrarily named file, or accepted an an argument to the program". Can that be refined further, or should that restriction simply be removed?
