Ironic -- this article is unreadable

The web styling for this article forces line lengths in excess of 115 characters (as seen in SeaMonkey 1.0.4/Linux) or 124 characters (Konqueror 3.4.2).



It is well known in human-factors engineering that readability is best for line lengths of 50-65 characters, and degrades badly beyond 90 characters.



I find it ironic that an article encouraging techniques for improving readability would be formatted in such an unreadable fashion.


fwiw
