Could you explain why you have so much emotion invested in this issue?
I'm mostly having light-hearted fun with it. The conversation wasn't going anywhere from the start. I do find it funny that so many think 80 is exactly the right number regardless of other whitespace conventions or regardless of the language being used. I do think the OP was right on at least one point. I think all of us at one time or another has seen code get mangled in attempts to comply with an arbitrary line length limit. But this is the exception, not the norm. Raymond
