Exactly what I wanted to point out,,,Well, this really makes sense on the forum posts; as one word replies are already against the rules so writing 2-3 words won't be a biggie. But in visitor messages that's a different case. Profiles are for personal use and for most of us the only means to communicate one-to-one with friends, and you don't want to write: ....... in every VM just to make up the limit, it is like writing your actual message and spamming rest of the part. It will be very nice if we had it turned back to three characters for visitor messages, or make it at-least 8-9 characters, perfect to write "Thank you".
