If it's that long, it needs to be refactored. Log files are a different beast and can benefit from those types of lines.

>That style may make sense in places where you have a long prg where several classes, or several groups of related routines reside. A long comment like that may help to delineate them when scrolling - though Document View makes this mostly unnecessary. I do such long lines in log files (when logging into a textfile), to point out phases, when something started or ended. Helps eyeballing. For code, I agree with your doubts.
