Thats a pretty ridiculous solution, the web is not limited to reading plain text documents anymore, there are a lot of applications where horizontal scrolling is perfectly suitable requirement.

- hollerith 15y ago>the web is not limited to reading plain text documents anymore That is true. It is also true that it is becoming more frustrating to use the web for its original purpose of reading plain text documents, and the need to scroll some pages horizontally is a symptom of that.

- hollerith 15y ago"Scientific hypertext documents" then. Point is that it is becoming more difficult to use for its original purpose.
