Problem with sending large comments to Blogspot blog

Cause: Problem is caused by enormous URL Blogspot tries to engage after You push the Publish Comment button.
Solution: Once You get an error message (Request-URI Too Large) You should review an URL in Your browser’s address bar and manually remove component named token and it’s oversized value, which together look like &token=dCI0GgYrn3ntOm4hZ7XWtaj2xtbkQJKb3l2ZBS… (few hundred characters more).
After You’re done, the address should look somewhat like following:
https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6232352899247523382&postID=1177828987144679327&page=1
After You have cleaned up a URL, you can strike Enter to have Your comment finally posted.
The background: According to blogspot support forum, the problem has been outhere since June 2010. Please check out this support forum thread:
