Textarea sizes are specified when the textarea is injected into the output by 
this function:

Where in the module code that function gets called varies somewhat from module 
to module.

I hadn't thought of using ems to resize it via CSS, though.  That's cool. :-)

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
