character to justify text

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Hi JB,

I've noticed with interest your fixation on this "problem" of full  
justification. Though I appreciate your attention to detail, I must  
admit that of all the things that need to be done with software, full  
justification of text is probably on the bottom of the "features  
list". You've expressed your "wants"; now I'd drop it and go on to  
more productive things if I were you. Frankly, almost all of the  
"possibilities" that have been discussed are pretty "crazy", and  
would probably cause you more problems down the line.

Just my opinion,

Joe Wilkins
