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.
