Unfortunately, there are ads that are 336x280 pixels, and the site designers
insisted on making the page a forced width of about 800 pixels. I don't know
about anyone else, but on my screen the article is all but unreadable because
the page layout compresses its columns so that there are only about three
words per line. Ugh!

I know these people need to make money, but they are working very hard to drive
at least one visitor from their site. I hate websites that hardwire a narrow
width, so that even though I have a larger screen I *still* can't widen the
page out to make it readable.

Sorry...rant mode off now.
