Your problem here is with your understanding in the textarea tag. All
the cols and rows stuff is doing is presentational. It is the same as
saying width and height. It doesn't actually format the data.
If you need your input to be cut short, or formatted a special way,
you'll need to do that when you output it back to the user.
