OK, here's the real question... why does body hair grow to a certain length and then stop? i.e., if, in the winter and I'm not admitting it but hypothetically if I were to not shave the pits, why wouldn't it hypothetically grow to my waist?

I guess the same reason guys' leg and pit hair doesn't do so. Strictly genetics. For some reason though, I think being a lezbo increases the potential length, judging by some of the "gals" here in Seattle.

I don't think it stops. I think that after it reaches a certain length, it falls out.

I saw a guy the other day who had eyebrows about a foot long.

Dear Sir,
Do you own a scissor?

Ever see Any Rooney's eyebrows? Those things are scary, they look like they could reach out and grab you.

All hair has a growth/dormant cycle. The hair grows for a while then the follicle goes dormant for a while.

Bald headed guys don't have any less hair follicles they just have REALLY long dormant periods.
