Ok, I've seen this enough times now that I have to ask.... What is it
about having a .gmail e-mail address that implies lack of proper
formatting for e-mail? I have vi (vim) set to tw=74 on my system, with
the exception of Java and XML (for Android app code on the SDK side) and
C++ on the JNI side. Ok, 74 isn't 72, but it's close enough that I've
never had any complaints (at least, not that I know of). I don't
top-post, I trim quotes and reply to individual bits of quotes, etc., so
how is having a .gmail address so bad? I'm very curious at this point.
