I can't say I've seen much (if any) spam in here at all. There are
fewer and fewer messages as more people stop using PageMaker though.

The problem with a couple of those so-called "experts" is that they
tend to be obnoxious "know-it-all" types who apparently like to try to
make you feel or look stupid rather than actually help. I've been there
three or four times (under different names) and been put off bothering
to go again, unless I *really* *really* have to.  :o(

I'm only using InDesign 2 and haven't really looked at tables yet, but
I'll probably do what I did with PageMaker - have a "library" file that
contains pages of ready-made tables I can simply copy and paste across
to another do***ent whenever needed.
