if on this board mods/admins can manually insert a reply, this is suitable for the post at hand, as well.

And had I known that I was going to add GSV links, I probably would have reserved it for myself. But too late.

isn't Max enough of a character already?

We may have a better solution for pages like this in the works.

Oooh, do tell.

We've run into the 20,000-character limit before, notably in a thread tabulating Caltrans contracts with pattern-accurate signing plans.  The last post in it dates from 2013, about five or six years after Caltrans changed its plan preparation standards to encourage the production of sign sketches that actually resemble real signs.  I think an up-to-date comprehensive listing would now be too long to post even with a limit of 30,000 characters.
