in many cases, the use of frames and tables IS more efficient for
YOU. the problem comes when you think about the site from the
visitor's point of view. Then those frames and tables may get in the
way. (key word is "may")

As a novice, listen to the powers that be. For the most part they are
right about the use of frames and tables. Later, when you are one of
the powers, then you will know the times when the rules can be bent.
