Indeed. And all your messages appear to have a an extra <br>. Makes them 
look like this:

In html there is <br> for line break and <p> for paragraph.  How long or 
short
should lines
be should be regulated from those who receive it and not be dictated
by the author.
If you customary say we break lines in 65 and one's monitor is
set to
break lines every  60chars. (vision problems) then one line will have
60 and
the next 5 because you passed the break into the text.  Some have big
screens with high resolution, some small screens with low resolution.
What
kind of rule will be forcing someone to read text in a tiny column about 
1/10
of the screen?


Which is a bloody nuisance.
