*shriek* No! Actually, the opposite - people can enter as much as they 
want, but the display in "viewing mode" starts with only the first one 
or two paragraphs or 200/300 characters, whatever happens first, and the 
remaining text is initially hidden, but "unfolds" when clicked upon. Like:

"Blah blah blah Blah blah blah Blah blah blah...
August 16th: Rendered the first part, and built the .... [more >]"

Clicking "more" turns it into:

"Blah blah blah Blah blah blah Blah blah blah...
August 16th: Rendered the first part, and built the scenery
for the second half of the video. Working time: about 6-8 hours today. 
[< less]"

i.e. Just initally hiding long texts, not discarding them entirely :)

like those (the tiny +/- below the headers would be the "more/less", and 
i'd start with at least part of the text visible instead of entirely 
hiding it)
