:-) 

Sometimes, yes, because that's not the way I look at it. It does/should not 
matter what value the user would want. The lines should simply be lines, and 
the user gets to set where they wrap (notwithstanding the default setting of, 
say, 80). 

For example, if I'm looking for something in the logs, it is often useful to 
look for visual patterns on the text. Those visual patterns are greatly broken 
up by line with line feeds in them, so I want no line feeds to muddle the 
visual. 

Hence, we need to assume that all log 'lines' are on a single line and work 
from there to, say, 80 characters for presentation. That way the user is the 
one who determines whether ANY line feeds occur in the report. Making an a 
priori decision that 'nobody would want more than x characters' and make the 
internal workings use that value is not the way to go (again, notwithstanding 
that it is certainly reasonable to set the default presentation value to 80). 

I noticed that there are still errant line feeds in the report (you may already 
be working on these). The line length was set to 2,500 for the report that 
created these:
