Well, how 'bout this. I have rarely if ever used tables in word processors
that have them. Not meaning any disrespect for those who want tables, IMHO
they are WP foo-foo. I further suspect that if I were to post a request for
immediate inclusion of any feature, no matter how obscure (or difficult),
at least 20 other users who sincerely want that feature would post "me too"
votes.

You guys are doing great work. Keep it up.
