My preference is the DVSL page. :-)

Personal opinions will vary.

Varies. For example, Wired allows you to expand.

Well, having worked for a 
newspaper once... they told me
the columns were there because 
it's easier for a readers eye 
to scan a line that contains 
only a limited number of words 
instead of an extremely long line that goes way off the side of the page
and keeps going and going and going. ;-)

Oh, and usually the user can't change the size of DTF (dead tree format,
aka paper). <grin>

Cheers,
