Why can't I post long numbers (in the Excel subforum)?

Note that the above is an image.  When I try to submit a response that included that as text, I get the following error (again, an image):

Why?  That is, what consequences is the error filter trying to protect us from?

More to the point: Is there a workaround that allows me to enter that as text instead of an image?

I want people to be able to copy-and-paste the content.

        Interesting.  I think you are saying I can enter the following by editing after the initial submittal.  Testing....

        1/(1/49) is exactly 49.0000000000000,071054273576010018587112426757

        Odd: That worked even without editing.

        Also, I only a.s.s-u-me-d that the long number was the problem.  It might be the 1/(1/49).

        Someday, I'll test more thoroughly.  In the meantime, I'll assume that editing after submittal is indeed the workaround.  I've encountered that before in other forums. Thanks, Sergei.
