Thanks again. I agree, I've written a lot of code that would be clearer in 85 cols than 80, and some code that would have been clearer in 160 cols too. I think

Thanks again. I agree, I've written a lot of code that would be clearer in 85 cols than 80, and some code that would have been clearer in 160 cols too. I think we're agreeing mostly. The problem with 'ish' is that I see it as worse than useless. 80cols-ish is what? 90 cols max? Why not just use 90 cols as the standard? If I have to scroll my whole window or resize it to read your line, is that really better than if it had an extra break? Some people may think so, but I don't, personally.
