New I'm not sure that it is hard to read
There is a reason that newspapers have columns of print of the width that they do. That is a convenient width for people's eyes to scan. Barry's style is inconvenient to scroll past, but to read?

Cheers,
Ben

I think it must be because other comments are not narrower. On reflection, I think that the visual break between "full width" comments and, say, Barry's comments produces a break in my initial expectation of where my eye thinks the text should flow to.
