sorry, forum is in russian language.
but the rendering is obviously wrong.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to url named
2.look at page rendered
Actual Results:  
page composition looks like a broken table

Expected Results:  
page composition is a straight table
probably it is caused by nick starting with "-" (minus)
I see this in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a3)
Gecko/20040817 as well.

I don't see this. The page seems to render just fine for me. 

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10
I get the exact same unbroken rendering in IE6 and 20040918 trunk, PC/WinXP.

the website contains invalid comments, so that sourcecode is involuntarily
skipped as comment.
Search in the source for <!-- THE POST 389634 --> and read text afterwards:

<td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin--> <!--QuoteBegin--exec-+22.04.2004
19:51:48--><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3'
cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> 

The invalid comment:
<!--QuoteBegin--exec-+22.04.2004 19:51:48-->

use of multiple dashes inside comments is dangerous, if you don´t want to read a
complicated spec what is allowed and what is an error, don´t use them.

hhschwab@gmail.com: if this isn't the same site or the same product then it
should have its own bug.
