Maybe because you haven't looked at your source?

Nested blockquotes? Empty paragraphs? FONT elements everywhere? A simple
site, do it in notepad and use tutorials at http://www.htmldog.com
Won't take long to learn and with the simplicity of your site won't take
long to handcode. The benefits will be priceless.
To original question, why would you want to constrain your paragraphs?
If I have the room, why can I not use it? How about if I zoom the text,
then what? It looks fine the way it is in my opinion, just fix your poor
markup.

Take care,
