Re: I do believe it is possible to make the distinction between a phone user and a PC user,

The prior website did detect mobiles from their user agent string. It wasn't great if, for example, you turned your phone horizontal the single column would get stretched in an ugly way. The redesign is in fact responsive and in that regard, an improvement. The responsive ideals are let down by having a fixed maximum width so you do not benefit from a large monitor.
