Wordress is stripping out all my tags again

Does anyone know why this is happening?

I have a table and the client wanted line breaks in the top section of the table like this code below, but after I copy and paste the code from dreamweaver into the HTML editor and update the page and close that page it strips out the tags every single time… over and over??? why is this happening??? it just started to happen again after the latest update and it used to happen to me all the time about a year and a half ago….

If you use the HTML Editor and stick to it, no markup will ever be stripped out of your posts.

below is a link to a static HTML page with a table about half way down with all my br tags in the top section of the table like the client wanted:

below is the link to live php blog version and if you look at the table code in the top or the page you can clearly see they are all stripped out.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I gotta tell the WordPress developers that this posting box interface is horrible??? I clicked on the LINK button to add a hyper link, pasted it into the popup window and and it is really buggy and wacky and made a complete mess of this post???? I had to come back and move all the closing hyperlink tags to the end of each link as they were off somewhere else in this post???? very weird……..
