Why does the input field only show 4 lines of type?

One of the problems with the current site here is that when you write a response you can only see four lines of type. It makes rereading before submitting a post difficult.

Perhaps this is to encourage people to write less. I wonder if that is wise. Often the shorter reponses are snappy comebacks and put-downs and the longer posts contain policy ideas. Is this a place to explore and lay out policy ideas and detailed discussion or should it be more like a comments section at the CBC?

If the answer is that we want to welcome more thought out ordered discussion why not give more room to read and write submissions -- like say 12 lines instead of 4?

Just click and drag the little arrow in the bottom right corner -- you can make the input window YUGE.  Multiple screens worth.  Biggest input window in history, believe me.

It keeps snapping back. It resizes with any scrolling as well. But I had not realized it was there and in so far as it works I will try to use it. Thanks!
