The undisputed master?
Ahem, les'see if y'all recognize this syntax:
:X
ECHO SHUN
GOTO X
Yup -- MS-Dos! ;^)
Fifteen characters -- or, OK, twenty-one, if you count the CR and LF at the end of each line as two separate characters.
And it goes right on shunning him (why, BTW?) for EVER! :-)

Mechanisation
As our souls are slowly stolen
The wheels of progress keep steamrolling
Mechanisation melts our minds
To drive the furnace that drives us blind. -- [link|http://www.vergenet.net/~conrad/poetry/mechanisation.html|© Conrad Parker, 1993]
