don't tell me to be detailed and then not tell me you're going to cut me off!

So I did a car dealership tonite. You know car dealerships, they want details. I gave them details. I spent an hour and twenty minutes at the dealership and Test drove the most awesome car I've ever driven. I leaarned that I don't hate driving, I've just never driven a car worth driving. I hit submit and it says to check the red boxes to fix my mistakes. I see two "typos" so I "fix" my typos, apparently pre-owned is not a word, I had to change it to previously owned. So I get that box taken care of. Next box has no typos, it has no box telling me what's wrong even though the report tells me another box will pop up telling me what I need to do. So I changed my two paragraphs into two sentences and it accerpts the report. How much you want to bet it comes back for more detail. GrrrrrrrrI spent an hour on the report and 15 min trying to reduce my verbose answerins into teeny tiny little sentences. That drives me batty! Tell me my limits, I'll write it in word and do a word count. Don't make me write a book to impress you since it's my first time shopping with you and then have to cut my answers down!

What is the name of the editor?

Is it a guy ? and you had to listen to a conference call before the shop?
I just ranted about the same thing earlier today. If you are going to have character limits, just let us know.
This is one of the most common complaints about reports and the one that MSCs seem to have no problem ignoring. Think how much easier it would be on everyone, shoppers and editors alike. It would also result in them getting reports completed faster as there would be no need for the back and forth over something so inane.
