These constraints have different significance: over 72 characters per line and the reader's software will likely insert a line break so he can't SEE the proper drawing. Dash dash space is used with software that cuts signatures off quoted articles in replies; a minor inconvenience if omitted. The four line limit is arbitrary and doesn't matter at all. -- . ___ .
