Yup. That's a limit. Post an excerpt and link to the release.

But the text is 9000, not 10000.

What news? Don't want to miss something. Just split it to 2 posts, as happens with firmware releases

Nah man, not going to waste time on that, sorry.
Not going to bother posting any more news here.

There's been times where I've done the first couple of paragraphs, as PR's and News Items tend to do the inverted pyramid style of writing...
