   1. I want posts to look good by default in "tree mode"; long lines
      don't look good. Auto-line breaking doesn't always look good. 
   2. By default, I want white-space to be preserved -- this is useful when
      sharing ASCII art, code chunks, poetry, etc. It's also the way old
      email, USENET threads, and text-sharing used to be online. And it  
      worked!
   3. The standard of well-formatted posts really pisses off zoomers and
      phone posters...
   4. ... but if you want or need "long lines" for some reason, you can 
      manually override the filter by checking the "LL" (long line) box
      next to the "Post comment" button. 
   
   (Wow, look at how beautiful that list is!) 
   
   Maybe in the future, I'll have a "format post" checkbox set by default
   at the bottom that breaks up long lines. For now, I don't think most
   people have any real issue with it. When you're writing a longer post, 
   just hit "enter" when your sentence is nearing the edge of the post box,
   exactly like one hits the "carriage return" before going to the edge of
   a page when using a type writer. 
   
   The software at ayashii.net , which this project takes inspiration from,
   originally also had an anti-long-line feature before the heyuriteens
   disabled it because teens kept complaining. Maybe 2channel also yelled
   at people for writing long lines, but I can't remember.... 
   
   This innocent little tripwire also gives you a chance to reread your
   post before submitting it, which I think's helpful -- not planning to
   allow people to edit or delete their own messages, ever.
