Perhaps you misunderstood my response to Joel's comment. You don't <need> a many to many table as he said above in your quote. That's required for a normal form but isn't necessary. Denormalize the many to many form, have duplicated data in your only table if that works for you. Storage is cheap and its easier to create sql stsatements, too.
