In the typographic world there are some "prefered" character lengths in a line of text when typeset in "reasonably sized" fonts. There is a very nice discussion in the following TeX.SX answer: <http://TeX.stackexchange.com/a/71211/4416> Maybe some of the reasons above justify wrapping responses at some column? Of course I have no clue how relevant the above is for text on computer screens. Food for some thought. :) -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
