Just out of curiosity, did you find the "scroll right/left"
feature, and did it work for you?  Once I figured that out,
slashdot wasn't near as bad as I first thought -- actually,
if there was some kind of indication that "there's more over
there" (or did I just miss that?), I thought it was kinda
slick.  I didn't look around at any other pages, though, so
that's pretty slim evidence.

But I completely agree with making table-parsing easily
switchable.  That seems pretty self-evident.
