Then your blather was wrong. A table layout of the material on
the site I was discussing would not do the directly "crazy"
things OP was referring to. I have no time now, but if you are
not convinced I will cast it all in a table some time. How about
you doing it Leo and I will take a look and see you have not
cheated :)

And don't Geeze me! I have enough problems with religion.
