  Exactly how long is your "line", and why exactly? Why do you choose such
an arbitrary limit?

  If I use an editor with a width of 150 characters, would that be the limit?
What if I narrow it?

  In fact, most editors don't have any limit for line lengths. Does that
mean that every program can be written as a one-liner?

  You know, throwing an accusation back to the person who made it is just
a childish "no I'm not, you are!" argument.
