I'm tired of seeing the last 5-10 characters of every line wraparound; I tend not to read articles with >80-character lines in them. Netnews takes enough time to read as it is without my having to put my eyes through gymnastics. Well, this *is* net.flame. Any counterflames with lines longer than 80 characters will be returned postage due as oversided mail. -Ed Hall decvax!randvax!edhall
