You're not comprehending what I've been saying. Everyone else seems
to understand, even if they don't agree. I suggest you go back and
re-read what I've written carefully.

I never claimed to be a web developer, therefore my skill (or lack
thereof) is completely irrelevant, but hopefully insulting me has made
you feel a little better about yourself.

If you re-read my first post on the subject, you'll notice that I
explicity stated that I formed my opinion from the viewpoint of a user
of the web, not as a developer of the web pages/sites.

What I've observed is simple: in general, web pages that use table
driven layouts seem to work much better than web pages that use CSS
driven layouts.

Are you an asshole in real life too, or just on the Internet?

You're pretty pathetic.
