Heh heh, and I even read that portion before sending. :P The concensus I've seen from other mailing lists (mostly linux-kernel) is that as long as you don't go over 80 characters per line, you won't get yelled at. I've set my line length to 72 because it fills most of the terminal window and gives a few people some room to quote me before it pushes 80 characters and gets annoying. But if you're still quoting something from 5 emails ago, the discussion probably hasn't moved very far. Nate Marked as a troll for violating the line length rule in http://www.imc.org/rfc1855
