Ok, so I figured out why AOL's Journal software only allows 2500 characters an entry. It's because AOL believes that none of it's membership is capable of writing something more than 2500 characters worth of thoughts or daily experiences at a time. Obviously AOL believes it's membership to not have any more that a total of 2500 characters worth of life on a daily basis.
Which means they probably had some "think tank" people come in and advise them on the lifestyle and intelligence level of the average AOL member. Then they took that information, poured it in the blender with the cost effectiveness of offering a blogging feature to the membership, said an incantation over it, tapped the glass 3 times and "poof" out popped this AOL Journal with a maximum of 2500 characters.
I have to tell you that that just pisses me off. But I suppose that I will have to live with that because, as a not so happy nor loyal member of AOL for 6 plus years, I live with their crappy services with minimal complaint (to AOL anyway) until eventually they make it better or upgrade it somehow or whatever.
