False dichotomy :) I am appalled on an aesthetic as well as practical level by lines that reach outside my terminal. It's not important, though -- that's something I've gotten used to; naturally if the standard had been 100 I would have gotten used to that. It's about following clear standards, not ignorance of the width of my screen. > As always, opinions on aesthetics differ slightly, but > overall, everyone seems to mostly agree... Eh? Since when did they mostly agree? The 200 column example we've seen brought out a lot of disagreement. -- Jason Dusek _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
