What happens to the main text when the window is shrunk? Not everyone
uses a 21 inch monitor and has the browser fully expanded. If the user
thinks the text is too wide, the user can narrow it. But the user
cannot widen it beyond his physical limits.

Adverts are not something the user wants to see. When they are in a
column, I just hang the column off the side of my screen, especially
when they are animated.

Personally, I find columns very annoying, because it shoves all the
content I'm actually looking for over to the right, where I don't want it.
