I absolutely agree with what J. Little writes exactly here. Your
webpage, Malte, is very poorly structured, is semantically wrong and
does not show an example of good, sound webpage design. Using table to
layout elements in a webpage when there is no tabular data involved is
bad semantic to begin with, even though it might be using valid markup code.

We're not at war either: we're talking, discussing in a newsgroup
discussion without making insults, bashing, personal/ad hominem remarks,
you know.

Which sites did you go?

You're using nested tables at nmalte.dk site! It's even worse than plain
table use for layout. Converting such site into a CSS flexible/fluid 2
column design would be easy.

We're not either: what's the point anyway?
But heck, writing Java code is more fun anyway :-)
