What use is flexible width when I haver a static (like print) design?
If you have a static (like print) design then it belongs in a piece of
bloody paper, not on the web. That is what print means, paper.

And that's where we disagree isn't it

See that is where I feel you are in error. If a content is destine for web delivery then the goal should be suit the media, design with no preset canvas dimensions from the start. You may not always be successful, but it should be a goal like a sinless life...this is in contrast to the attitude where when presentation is important to a project the foregone conclusion is you must treat the web as paper and the layout must be fixed! Doomed to sin... ;-)
