Surely not last year! The year before. And it was already running when I joined (I believe about two PTs were done that far). So if it was June, then June 2006.

I think Rikae summed it up quite well, even with a good example. If you want to have fun, then you can keep one sentence and be aware of the fact that something like the above quote may appear; or you should, and that I would stand for, make a limit for the number of lines, or letters, or something Or both, which would be maybe for the best. However I like to have the possibility of writing creative long sentences, I think when one is forced to stuff all into smaller space, it has funnier results.
