I was just pointing out that continuing the comment on the next card
is a "solution" to the stated "problem" of the lack of space on the
line due to other required data. If your comment needs to be
x-characters long, what is the difference between it taking up one or
two lines (the latter due to there not being enough room on the first
line)?
