- The new sig should be constrained to 20, or perhaps even 10 columns.
- The constraint will force you to distill every bit of creativity into
- those few characters per line. Naturally, this will also tend to
- increase the number of lines, which could be considered an added
- benefit.
-
- Also, the 10 columns should be on the right side of the screen.
