hmm, i have now moved the styling for the logged in users to a
position above the "#commentlist li {}" and i can now style the text
differently depending on if a visitor or a logged in user made the
comment, the background and border from the "#commentlist li {}" still
override the individual user settings. any ideas on how to solve that?
