Dave seems to be investing a lot of time in defending himself in this tables/CSS thing. I've got a secret for many of you: Dave's an engineer. You may not realize that - hell, he might not either. But his vocabulary is textbook engineer - everything from bootstrapping to 'we make shitty software, with bugs!' He's the internet engineer: building solutions to problems that compromise in the right places - easy to use, cheap, reliable, and so on.

Dave will fully embrace CSS when he needs to. He's provided it for me and you and everyone else to use, but he will personally use it when he has a need for it. In the meantime, tables work fine for his needs, so his energies go elsewhere.

As for the CSS is the right thing to do people: keep saying it. You are the internet scientist: developing and promoting concepts that will keep the train on the tracks. One day Dave will wake up and have a problem with Scripting.com or one of his other sites and not quite know what to do about it. CSS will turn out to be the answer and he'll be thankful you educated him. He'll probably ask for your help.
