Comments to group discussions are cutting off at 4,000 characters

It's supposed to be 40,000! NOT 4,000.   I have submitted a support ticket.  Here is a screenshot of the error.  Anyone else noticed this?   (I just had another member say she posted 2,000 characters and it still said she couldn't add more than 4,000.)

EDIT: Never mind. I just stumbled on this page that give out the limits.

KNOW YOUR LIMITS

There are various HTML character limits that apply to posts, comments and replies. This article lists these character limits.

Keep in mind that these limits are measured in HTML characters, which include spaces and formatting tags, so if you paste formatted text from another source, it may contain a fair amount of hidden HTML characters. Pasting text as plain text will help avoid this issue.

Sorry it took so long! 

One other thing: We are going to start publishing limits like this so you can check them in a handy location. I know that things like this are a big annoyance if they aren't working as expected -- and even more annoying if you can't determine how it should be working.

Well, to be honest, we just don't generally see many people who are pasting things this long on a comment wall. I'm not sure many people use our platform in quite this way. Have you considered just posting these articles as new discussions instead of as a shout-out on a comment wall? 

For context, this is a 4,000 character reply:
