Oh Andy, so much troube just because of nothing.
I'm sorry if my initial comment sounded rude to you - I only read a
few of the replies yet but I get the feeling you must hate me as if
I would be your worst nightmare.

Initially, I wanted to drop a small fun based comment to the actual
thread's going to maybe get one poster more to produce some well
readable texting.

Meanwhile I get called pretty low and arrogant and whatnot from you
for practically telling you of too long lines (in a funny way I
think, but it might not be so funny to everyone - but still, I'm
only responsible of what I write, not what you understand or
interpret).

Besides all that, I did not /demand/ anything, you're way too much
interpreting into things that actually hold no value. I refrain from
guessing what might be the reason for that as you won't like to hear
it anyway. I can truly live my life without you breaking the lines,
it was a suggestion of mine this time and if you do like it do it,
if not do it not but stop talking to me from the side as this isn't
any nicer if you be honest to yourself.
