like, limit to 40 characters. That might avoid some issues. (I think way back, we could include a note with an alert, and that was stopped because of some problems. But I might not be remembering correctly.

Being able to add a short note would allow the alerter to clarify the specific issue they see with the post, without allowing a long rant or ramble for the jury to digest.
