1. The old SI limited the length of each line (in a thread's message text), similar to the way a newspaper limits column width. The human eye/brain can deal with only so much on a line before it becomes over-tiring. Your new
version needs to limit the line length similar to the old version to avoid this problem. (This is much more apparent
above 800x600 display.)

I disagree. I like to see as much text on the screen as I can and prefer the new screen. You can use your browser's ability to change font size (CTRL-[ & CTRL-] in Netscape) to change to the size you like best without forcing everyone to your preferences. That way we all benefit.
