asciilifeform working w/ commercial client who doesn't do 80col (or any limit at all) and the coad looks like shit on paper

asciilifeform: cgra: asciilifeform does 80cols where possible. reason being that asciilifeform uses 1) portrait-mode displays 2) printers

asciilifeform: gnat under max-fascism btw sets '>80col is eggog'. as is right an' proper.

asciilifeform: verisimilitude: i suppose if yer already using nonstandard character sets for aplism, not much risk of anyone inadvertently reading yer proggy and 'grr, fella won't do 80col..'

asciilifeform: from my pov, folx who think '80col is optional' are roughly similar to those who believe 'washing is optional'

asciilifeform: shinohai: i use an 80col printer for instance. (and emacs calibrated to 80col. and so on.)
