Has anybody actually looked at picture you provided in the first mail,

COMPLETELY DIFFERENT as in mine. (Completely f&^%-up, actually) In your
browser, it is indeed ugly because all kind of elements get completely
displaced. I think the confusing arising from this might explain the
grim tone this discussion is getting. Please, everybody, have a look at
the PNG that was attached the first time.
The original comment was non-constructive and rude. For some people (even on Internet mailing lists) this matters. It doesn't matter if whatever the person writes is 100% correct or 100% wrong. That doesn't change the fact that it was non-constructive and rude.
There are at least 3 other threads on this mailing list where davide is getting constructive criticism and both positive and negative feedback on his project. He's clearly taking it all in and making changes - which is (I think) the whole reason he chose present the site and open it up for discussion. Maarten, I don't think there is any confusion arising from the original post. That set the tone for the whole thread.
I should also point out that for someone who screamed UGLY from the mountaintops to start this off, the original poster's point a few posts later is a little confusing to me:
"The three principles for any website site are: usability, readability, and accessibility. Good looking is not not on the radar."
Hmm.
