as a user, not an HTML author, I like the Herald page. It is centered, it displays and reads fine in my 'regular' browser, Opera, and it allows me to zoom (enlarge) it, if I find it too small, with just a click on the + sign. Anything on a page which REQUIRES me to scroll sideways to read upsets me.

Regarding the above discussion, I once attended a 'workshop' which was supposed to train new new people to operate our Folklore Society sound system. These eager new faces, who wanted to know how to connect it, plug it in and basic tricks of operation, were treated to 2 hours of technical wrangling by our TWO experts about fuse capacities, alternative wiring schematics, speaker impedance and reverb adjustment...all done in techno-geek with the audience looking on in mostly puzzled wonder.

take the metaphor for what it's worth.
