It's easier to design in tables and then break a brain or two to get it into
proper CSS. 
On the whole, looking at the people who come to the site, they want the
content and don't care all that much about how the layout was created. Out
of about 20k unique people (non-bots) a day, I can say that 1/4 - 1/3 are
new people who come to the site looking for a particular piece of data. They
don't care about the site beyond that data. Yes, I'd like to rope them in
and get them to stay, but....
That being said, I do plan to use CSS when the design is 'there'.

And no offense taken. My design is from the 90's. :)
