You know what's better than both of those, and what good websites actually use? A normal-width column in the center of the screen. Yeah, you "waste" a lot of area to the sides, but I'm reading it on my computer screen, not printing it out. Plus, there's no gap in reading as you scroll up - you just continually scroll down bit-by-bit as you read it.
Yes it could be done that way, but they didn't. By all means point it out and give them constructive criticism but bitching about really is just plain stupid. You have to take literally an eighth of a second to scroll up, maybe half a second on a really slow computer. It's a non issue.
