@Ewan well, that opening part of my answer which stated that a 350 line method is not unreasonably long was rather unnecessary, so I removed it. If writing tiny methods works for you, good for you. However, my thoughts on this issue can be found here: michael.gr - My notes on "Clean Code" (Prentice Hall) (Scroll down to where it says "Page 35" and read the first paragraph.)
