P3D Re: Rick Inzero comments on line lengths

["Peter van Zuijlekom" <pzuijlekom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

     Don't want to spend too much time on this (again),
     but do we agree or not ?
     
     I absolutely disagree with you on this subject.
     When you s-u-b-s-c-r-i-b-e to this list, either for
     the first time or, for instance, if your mail address
     has changed, you'll get a list of instructions from
     our moderators. One of the instructions reads:
     (not an exact citation) Keep line lengths well within
     70 or so characters, so that when somebody answers your
     question/comment/whatever and his/her mail machine
     creates those < / >/ | / whatever (mine does not), the
     line length will be kept well within the 80 chars max.
     most of us use.
     
     And you tell me this is off-topic ?
     
     If you are one of those who never read your own messages
     back again, you won't be hit by this phenomenae, but 
     if you do your utmost to read everything that is
     published on this list, which I do, it's a real annoyance
     to scroll to the right for 400, 500 or even more than
     700 characters, I can assure you. So what's up ?  
     Reaction of the moderators ? Anyone else ?
     If nobody has problems with this, I'll keep my mouth
     shut in the future and suffer in silence but we all did
     agree on the rules, didn't we ?
