I figgered. (/me narrowly misses stepping on soapbox about appropriate 
page for the user info box being the user page, not each article page, 
and decides to save that for the redesign discussion. ;p )

Thank you for your opinion and your valiant attempt to protect me from 
making a page that *you* think looks like ass. Will you aid me in my 
attempt to make a page that *I* don't think looks like ass?

I'll stop with the aspect stuff, but I'd really be a happy camper to see 
the border go away.
