E-mail length

Ok, let's see. This email: 'veryveryverylongusername@veryveryverylongdomainname.veryveryverylongdomain' has a length of 74 characters; a bit less than twice your 40 characters limit. If you predict there will be crazy people will crazy long emails, no, 40 characters are not enough. Otherwise, they're more than enough.

 

PS: My e-mail address is 22 characters long and is of a normal length :)

There are always "outliers"...

 

So my Payment Form isn't wickedly wide, I'd like to limit the field to 40-50 characters.

 

I am also old-school, and feel that if someone needs to be retarded and have excessively long e-mails or use funky characters, then I don't need to support them.

 

But I wasn't sure if 40 characters was too strict...
