I understood that. And Pixel perfect design does make that
assumption.

No they're not. They just disagree with you that's all. They are no
more wrong than you are. People have preferences and they tend to
gravitate towards those preferences. That is like saying people that
like the color blue are wrong.

They suck to "you" not to everyone. You are assuming that if they do
not follow your flexible width design they will fail. That is a
completely invalid assumption.

You're right, but the pendulum swings both ways. You could fail too.

Or they could kick you out the door... Sorry Andy, we disagree on
this. And you know what? Flexible websites will never take over the
web, and neither will fixed width. They will always both exist
because people like different things. And I can live with that. Can
you?
