I can't add up your numbers since they apply to overlapping groups; but
at least 5 users use wide displays, and only one "hardly ever uses
displays <> 79 columns". So _at least_ 83% of responses indicate that
they use nonstandard screen widths. From this you conclude:
"presumably, most other users don't [use nonstandard screen widths]
either".
You must work for a political polling organization.

It troubles me slightly, but definitely not enough to do anything about
it. The loss of a few columns out of a 100 or 120 column screen isn't
important.
