Death to developers who don't allow window resizing or closing!

Stop

Death is too good for them.

They should be sat in front of a screen in a locked, slowly flooding room with the instructions on how to get out of the room in a non-resizable window with the key part of the instructions just below the bottom of the page.

But, but, but.....you've got to agree that *some* windows don't ever need to be resizable. Personally, I think it's a good thing that the underlying system offers this flexibility: look at the various preferences pages in (e.g.) Apple's Mail application: some are resizable, some ain't.

Remember: we're not talking specifically about an app's main window.
