Isn't the purpose of dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier: of reusing tableview's 
objects? I've used this in the past and it never failed me. The documentation 
says "For performance reasons, a table view'€™s data source should generally 
reuse UITableViewCell objects when it assigns cells to rows in its 
tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath: method". So, that's what I'm using. Of course, 
I have 2 different cells for the 2 sections and I can't understand why it 
doesn't work. Right now, I have 4 cells in section 2 but in the future, I might 
have dozens of cells representing dozens of entries. I cannot possibly create a 
different cell for each row, can I?

-Laurent.
