LOL yes but users will ALWAYS find ways to mess things up. It is the 
eternal curse of system administrators.
Anyway - i'm sure in this particular case it would be fairly obvious 
what was wrong. The selection page could say
"Only choose essential columns as too many selections will cause the 
listing to run off the edge of the page".
There...ass covered ;o)

...that looks exactly like it would if it were left aligned

and if it were left aligned it would look like:

	  Mon, 1:25
	  Tue, 23:24
	  Fri, 11:17

which is much neater!

Given all the variations - size, fonts, date formats etc surely left 
align is the only way to have some iota of a consistant display?
