Robert,
I appreciate your gripe - too many pages are like this, not just on our
own site. I think (personally) it's a deficiency of browser design,
especially when the table widths are not explicit (ours are, and I'll
bring this up with our web design group to see if they can't trim this a
widdle bit...).
