&lt;P&gt;I hardly ever read [The Monastery Gates] anymore.  I have [Newest Nodes] bookmarked, and I usually just jump right to that page.  Today, however, my attention was called to the front page, and it does seem to have grown rather large.

&lt;p&gt;My questions are 1) Other than newcomers, does anybody actually use [The Monastery Gates] as their landing page? And 2) Does anybody else agree that its really annoying when [id://224805|large posts] get frontpaged in their entirety?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;P&gt;What I'm wondering is it would be good for the sake of the front page's appearance if a rule was solidified that specified the maximum amount of text that could appear per node on the front page.  Does anybody else have any opinions on this?&lt;/P&gt;
