Mike,

I feel when you write 'mostly', you really touch the heart of the matter. I 
agree that most of the time, 15 chars are enough.

It seems to me the question is for the cases (about 10-15%?) where 15 chars are 
not enough and you have to choose either immediate readability or strict 
compliance with the limit.

Cheers.

I wish I could say I forgot about it.  Maybe someday.

... but even in /Free and other programming languages, I still keep my
field names mostly between 10-15 chars.
