> over ssh Line length isn't going to have much impact on what fits over ssh...

  True, thanks. Did you not know what I meant? "in every terminal, over ssh". Line length can affect my use of grep as much as it can affect remote vi sessions. I'm not talking about the protocol, I'm talking about the existence of multiple workflows that are all affected by line length conventions. The edit/compile cycle in your favorite IDE isn't the only consideration, and I'm not the only person to consider when I decide how long my lines should be.

    SSH is only relevant in that it might provide an additional motivation for operating in the terminal, in some cases. That said, yes, I was picking a nit mostly because the nit itself amused me (and I hoped it would amuse others) - it wasn't meant as significant criticism of your post.
