I tend to be a bit wordy also.  A logic manual replete with diagrams
explaining the operation of an operating system was always a great
substitute for line by line comments.

I like long labels Here_is_another_branch_location is the type of label I
like.  I always loved squishing rexx code into one long string.  Very
amusing to me.

Could be. <but I don't say which it could be - grin>.

The only language in which I have ever used a long line (about 100
chars) was C. I sometimes tend to be "wordy". That particular program had
one logical line which was 5 lines in length, each about 100 chars. Or
course, when you are using structures with long names and variable within
them with long names.
