You just hit the nail on the head, Collin. As soon as we offer a style 
sheet, unless it's blank, we're assuming some form of control of the user's 
possible preferences. And there's nothing wrong with that in my opinion 
provided the styles given are reasonable. Unreasonable might include a fixed 
font-size, an excessive fixed width, excessively high or low contrast, etc. 
Or, the worst one of all would blue text on a white background; I really 
hate that one and can't stand it when it's forced on me. Thus I tend not to 
visit sites with that style; and that's a preference I can exercise no 
matter what the designer/develop says or does.

Respectfully (to those who garner respect),
