A year or so ago, I began noticing news postings with lines longer
than 80 characters. These can be a real pain to read, and at one
time I actually had my global rn kill file set up to junk all
articles from Apollo (where most of these were coming from at the
time).

Anyway, with the proliferation of window systems on the net, I
believe that we may be seeing more and more of this type of thing.

First of all, is this a problem? If so, what can we do about it?
If not, convince me that I shouldn't care (remember that it may
be a while before I can get a wide terminal for home, where I read
news).
