Get or Post, what is better? Pages that link to <a href="https://ozoneasylum.com/backlink?for=5735" title="Pages that link to Get or Post, what is better?" rel="nofollow" >Get or Post, what is better?\

Usually, one uses Get for retrieving things, so that the users can easily bookmark the retrieved page,
and Post whenever something is submited, like forum posts or wiki pages.

Additional Forces:
-Get is limited to 1024 characters, posts can be much larger (but it's limited at the server side, at 2mb for PHP by default, for example)
-Post is a tad bit more difficult to mess with. But only one tad. No more.
-Get-Requests can be easily cached by the browser or proxies.
