Six pages, all the same code, each with different doctypes. All will render the same in all browsers.
I don't really have time to be making examples.... I barely have time to revisit this thread from time to time. Besides, you seem pretty convinced and can't be told otherwise anyway.

However, suffice to say... there are differences. Otherwise they wouldn't have bothered making the doctypes in the first place. Right?

There's plenty of examples, tutorials, descriptions and so on with a few quick searches in Google... for example: http://htmlfixit.com/tutes/tutorial_...ferences.shtml

You can continue to make pages designed with tables if that's what works for you, but CSS is still a better method. Or you can use CSS and not bother with DOCTYPES if that's what works for you, but using proper DOCTYPES is still a better method.
