Can we kill this now?    We're none of us so rich in free time that flames are
necessary.

From what I can tell, Fixed-width vs. Variable-width is a *tradeoff*, and you
gain and lose things either way.    Let me sum up the pros for each:

Fixed-Width
    -- Supports more polished designs
    -- More "corporate"
    -- supports better visual organization of navigation
    -- better for websites with many images
    -- cuts down on scrolling
    -- emphasizes design

Variable-Width
    -- Supports a greater variety of browser/language settings
    -- More "open source"
    -- better for large quantities of text content
    -- emphasizes content

Do people agree with the above points?
