I thought that as well, about five or six years ago. After futzing with
it for a few weeks, it suddenly clicked. Picture a big light bulb over
the head like in a cartoon. I do mean it *clicked!* A big Ahhh-HA!

I've never looked back. <g>

Read a bunch of them myself, after the fact. My feeling is that most are
trying to turn on that light bulb for the millions of web authors who
haven't found the switch on their own.

Man in forest chops down tree with axe; takes twenty minutes. Logger
walks up, gives him chain saw and explains how to start it; next tree
felled in two minutes.

(There are just as many tutorials on designing sites with tables...)
