in reply to On what column do you wrap your code?

I tend toward 80. Why? Hm, well...

So, I voted 80, but I'm not strict about it. If I'm maintaining code I try to derive and follow the existing wrapping rules (and other style elements). Some lines just feel like they need to be longer than 80 chars, and I'm willing to let those "break" the wrapping rules.
