Which has four legs, a Table or a <Table></Table> ?

"I visited your page and was struck by this statement at the bottom of
your index page:

(Hey--I just wanted to see how a table worked. . . !)

I too once did not know how a table worked.  I used to eat each meal
delicately balancing my food in my lap. The plate, napkin,
and silverware were never a problem.   I found that keeping a full glass
of milk sitting on my knee was a challenging proposition.
After literally crying over the spilled contents one too many times I
thought that there had to be a better way.  Once while dining
with friends, one of them made a suggestion that would change my life. I
was having a difficult time enjoying my soup course as
the bowl sat in my lap and I tried desperately to balance a thin stemmed
wine glass on my knee.  After spilling some of the
scalding hot soup on my leg one of my friends said: "Steve, why don't
you see how a table works."  It all of a sudden struck me
just like a salad plate hitting the floor.  Put my meals on the table,
and eat them while they are on the table, and I won't spill
anything!  I had always noticed that almost everyone else I knew had
obviously already figured out how this table thing works.
So I went ahead and tried the table and you know what, it worked
wonderfully. So I was so glad to read on your Web page that
you too have found out how a table works.  I commend your work in
spreading the "table" gospel by putting that statement on
your site. I hope more people discover how the table works and someday
we can rid the world of spilled food by having all
meals on the table."
