It seems, I have a 70-column (or char) screen when using Emacs, so
if people stuck to the "good idea", that'd work for me. But the
line I mentioned (in the documentation of find-file) is below the
hard-limit of 80 chars, so I can't really bang them in the head
with the above quote, can I?

Cool, will check that out!

You always tell me I should report all problems as bugs. I don't
think that is a good attitude, I rather examine how to fix the
problem myself. So you don't need to repeat that all the
time. Only if I find really obvious bugs, I'll report them, and
you don't need to tell me to. I stopped go on and on about the
mouse, remember? So relax. But I appreciate the other info you
provided. Or, put it like this: Thanks for the -- help.
