              Three is my favorite number, sounds like a great idea.

                Some ideas cant be properly coveyed with three hundred sentances. Some ideas can be conveyed without a single word. Transmition flower.

                    Dear All,

                    Unless there are any last comments (hopefully in three sentences or less ), I am going to post this as a rule for our place.

                    There will be exceptions (such as the "no words" book club, the art circle, and our Precept reflections for Jukai).

                    Also, if someone truly needs to say something with more words, it is fine ... although we will make it a habit to put a little apology at the end the post.

                    Gassho, J

                          This experiment immediately reminded me of the sentiment: I didn’t have time to write you a short letter, so I wrote you a long one (more info here https://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/0...horter-letter/).
                          I don't usually say much anyway.

                            I like this and will continue to honor.

                            Have noticed use of longer sentences, lots of colons and semicolons being creativity used.

                                "Priest" here is rude. Not worth the time if you want depth in discussion because past a point he just goes into shut-down mode. No wonder he limits everyone to three sentences and is the most frequent offender of his own rule. Some kind of control thing. Won't be back.
