Many people have terminals as wide as 132 columns or more.  It is, however,
safe to assume that very few people want to read text lines that are
this long.  My experience is that such an aspect ratio in your text is
uncomfortable.  This is also why most sources of text, from newspapers to
paperbacks, prefer a short column width when they can get it.

I am sure one or two people might come out and say they like it, but
market studies indicate it's not a big demand.

Of course, wrapped text can be wrapped to a nice length like 60
columns even on a 130 column display, it does offer choice.  But
the burden of having everybody write in text formatter language
is too much for the tiny gain, at least right now.
