Summary: Sorry, but it's needed.

Someone (Sorry, I didn't care to include his article) in <3353@brl-tgr.ARPA>
talks against hyphenation.

Let's fisrt note: If you right-justify, sometimes you must hyphenate
                  to      avoid      lines    like      this     one
                  which are very hard to read.
Then my main question:
                  What about newspapers? Should they look like
		  One
		  word
		  on 
		  every line, when long words appear in the text.
		  
I will not suggest hyphenation should be done everywhere possible,
but in some places you got to do it. And it shall always be done
with care, no matter if you writing by hand or by computer.
