I don't think anyone likes posts that print out to 20+ pages!! When I tried corresponding with one of these volunteers asking her to consider limiting each post to one individual, I also mentioned how difficult those lengthy posts are for folks with older computers, dial-up connections, or web-tv units, the response was basically "This is the way I've always done it and this is the how I'm always going to post." I would probably agree with using Biography if the posts were about one individual or couple. These posts contain data on numerous individuals (usually all of the same family, but occasionally not) and "Biography" just doesn't feel right in these cases.
