Hello Jeff. Thank you and your colleagues for such a great piece of software.

I am not a computer scientist, so please excuse me if I stick my foot in it. According to Wikipedia, an English text (and I’m guessing that the same goes for most other western languages) would typically have a low entropy, as opposed to gibberish, so is there any reason why the same check run on titles cannot be run for the body of a post? I think this would also avoid to some degree people just typing out random stuff to fill the character quota mentioned in the original thread, right?
