Ok, tell you what, I am going to explain this once to you children.
The 80 character limit is for thread titles. If you cannot fit a thread title into 80 characters, or less, then you need to go back to school.
Now, I am closing this thread so it will get the maximum anmount of exposure so you, and others, who think there is some grand conspiracy to limit your posts to 80 characters will understand and maybe you will stop the senseless bleating about it.
