Bert,
OK, you found a strong correlation, but are you drawing the right
conclusion?
1. How many were generated with a WYSIWYG editor?
Why would that matter. Not even the tools can get tables right?
2. How many were generated by some sort of server side script?
So script writers can;t get tables right either?
3. How recently had they been updated?
Why would that be in any way relevant?
4. Were they "nested tables rule!" types (which I hate too)?
Some. So now some tables based layouts are good and some not? Which
ones are they? Why?
It's a bit like statistics - they can be used to prove almost
anything, depending on how you interpret them :-)
Or rhetoric, which can be used to convince oneself of just about
anything.
