I paid a lot of money in therapy in order to brainwash myself.

I'm a champion of CSS layout. I'm not a CSS troll as this article describes,
but there's always the itch in the back of my head that if I decided to grow
hair, I wouldn't want to pull it out if I used basic tables for stuff.

Now, all this traumatic stuff I've repressed has relapsed because of your
articles.

Joking aside, I'm still hoping that if I keep using CSS eventually the
browser word will catch up. Yes, I am the type who's dated women in hopes
they'd stop being crazy...so I guess it's just reflective of my personality.

Thanks for sharing it, though, because it does make me wonder if I really
shouldn't invlove them every now and then.
