I count line lengths of 147 characters (there may be longer ones) in my browser. As far as I am concerned, that makes the article unreadable (it is well established in human-factors research that for optimal readability, line lengths should be 55-70 characters; readability degrades badly beyond 90. |

Your comment
has
strangely broken
lines and unclosed parentheses. It is well-
established in communications-nitpick
research
that
broken lines degrades communication
therefore, your
comment is worthless. Is this a bad hair day or what? |

LOL! Thank you, jimf! I needed that. |

Oh you male-types. It's split-ends. Anyway reading the article is no problem with the browser window maximixed at 1280x1024 resolution, and fonts set to teeny-tiny. Doesn't everyone do that? |

tuxchick2: You were supposed to be kidnapped. I gave Slippery Sam $2 and half a Hershey bar to lock you in a dungeon with a computer that only has vi and hunt-the-wumpus installed. You were not to be let out until you wrote the Secure PHP Sessions and User Authentication in 3 Easy Lessons HOWTO. |

I gave Sam three dollars and a bag of Lindor chocolates. Sheesh, frugal is one thing, but cheapskates can always be out-bribed. |

You overpaid him tuxchick. Another $2 and a full Hershey bar would have more than done it. |

> You overpaid him tuxchick. Heck, since he already had the $2 from grouch, the full Hershey bar might have been enough. |
