- Will those of you who can have a large number of characters
- on a screen please think of those of us who have limited displays.
-
- Below is what a message with wide linewidths looks like to us. Are
- you trying to communicate? Its not working. Even for those people
- who can format the message properly, it is difficult for the eye to
- travel across the screen for wide messages. Why do you think books
- are the width they are - its because its difficult read longer lines.
-
- SET YOUR LINE WIDTHS TO 70 CHARATERS MAX. (so quoted messages don't
- wrap)
