Hi, Seems the width reverted back to 67; could we make it 76 again?

Yep, just fixed it. Thanks for letting me know.
So it's back to "kind of 'wrong'" again?

67 is a common number for gopher, actually. The old 1436 spec specifically says lines should be less than 70 characters wide. The 67 number gives room for the left-hand column to have link type descriptors so it gained popularity. You won't really run into complaining if you stick under 80 col, though.
67 may be a bit too small for my taste but running into line widths over 80 chars is a no go in my eyes. So if only given the choice of 67 vs 76, I'll prefer 67.
