It's funny that you use the phrases "I want" and "In my opinion," and
then go on to assert that opinion as fact:

If you had appended to that the following:

"... for me, although others may have different preferences and
abilities and may find wide text rows perfectly easy -- and preferable
-- to read."

... then, your statements would have made sense.  Why people still
design based on a single fixed width for the browser window is beyond me 
(aside from simple laziness, with which I can sympathize).
