Maybe it does, but your comment sounds awfully like many other
designer's wahhhh-wahhhh, emitted when people simply _don't
like_ their creations

A good example is the fixed-width websites that someone else
mentioned earlier in the thread. Setting up sites like this takes
away a user's choice for no obvious gain, except perhaps some
laziness on the designer's part.  Users might want their content
wider for lots of reasons... such as, perhaps, displaying large
text to aid the vision-impaired.  Or they might be viewing it on
a small screen, eg. smartphone...

Do you think that if the reader finds reading to be optimal at a
particular column width, that said reader may well adjust their
browser window to suit?
