I do too.. really... I do have better things to do with my time!
However I cannot change code that I cannot read, and I cannot read
code which wraps over 80 columns all the time.

No, I'm not hard-core about it. Of course there are exceptions.
However if we cannot all agree on simple things like "use 8 char
tabstops" and "_try_ to limit lines to 80 chars", then there is no
hope at all.  That's why I try and follow the linux kernel coding
style.

I thought that the two screen shots showed my point pretty clearly.  I
cannot for the life of me understand how someone would think that the
'before' case is somehow easier to read.

Really I don't think that patches should be disqualified for coding
style unless there is something really egregious, especially when
there is no documented coding style and the current code is pretty
clearly a mash of many different ones.

thanks
