Is this message – an equivalent of a new forum topic or thread? Does anyone even see this? Sorry, first time having conversations this way. Also, is hard-wrapping lines at 80 characters a requirement? I see many people doing this here (I think I also saw Linus Torvalds doing the same in kernel emails).
I do see an appeal in this, but I don't necessarily see the purpose. You can configure any text editor to soft-wrap at the end of the screen without breaking lines. Is there something I can read about this?
