How can you be taken seriously when you can't even wrap your lines
according to our venerable guidelines?

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMailingLists

 Set linewrap to 65-78 characters. 72 is a popular setting. 

Get a popular setting going, buddy. 

And, though it's true I extolled Proust recently, being succinct with
well-wrapped lines is the height of mailing-list sophistication (unless
your Marcel, which you ain't).

Of course, it's also true these guidelines are never evoked with
anything approaching equanimity, so forget I even mentioned them.
