> The "POA" heading is misaligned. You can tell they used table-less design - things don't line up right.

Um, that's not the case. Those look like table tags, as they should be (it's a table). The only problem is that that column header is left-aligned, not right-aligned like the rows are.

Most of your complaints are bullshit, frankly, and the rest are about interaction design/UX, not visual design, which is all that this project claimed to be. The visual design and layout look fine, with the exception of that misaligned column heading (the horror!).

This would have been a great comment without the word "bullshit", which made the whole thing read needlessly venomous.
Re-reading this a couple hours later, I agree. I responded to needless negativity with more needless negativity. Guess my IRC habits have been leaking into my other hobbies. I'd edit it, but it's been too long since it was posted.
I'm sure I bring that habit here way way more than you do! Thanks for being cool about it.
There's no need to apologise for using the word bullshit. It's bullshit that we have to be PC about words we use.
This is nothing to do with political correctness. The word "bullshit" is perfectly fine; it's the way it was used here.
Maybe he's calling a spade a spade but, if so, your comment is off base, too.
The misaligned comment head is over a blank space, and to the left of a column that doesn't have a head. So the "clean" web design results in a column head that's not associated with a column.

Interaction design is what it's all about. This page would work equally well with the browser's default fonts and colors.
