Regardless...the DEFAULT behavior of an editor should NOT be to "pad"
existing text with non-existant characters out to the maximum legal
line length.
Such behavior is actively user-HOSTILE, and is illustrative of
IBM's programming practices in general.

Which is PRECISELY why our Bill of Rights SPECIFICALLY spells out the
right to keep and bear arms. (Such a scenario is discussed in 'The
Federalist Papers', and is given as one of the reasons for keeping the
populace armed)

Probably true.

Very true. This is why I am all for abolishing the sanctions against
Iraq ASAP. All that we're doing there is creating a generation of kids
just like the 1930's Hitler Youth....hell-bent on revenge.

Oh give me a break. This excuses neither the 20,000,000 Ukrainian
farmers who were STARVED TO DEATH on their own land, nor the millions
of others who were killed by the government in the 10 years after
the war up until his death.
Lenin was a manipulative asshole who didn't mind killing to get what
he wanted...Stalin, on the other hand, was a blood-thirsty megalomaniac
even worse than Hitler.

Why not make some cosmetic changes, and SELL the debugged product.
