Few users who aren't also web designers will ever figure out how to use them, and even fewer will spend the enormous amount of time it takes on each  typical site to locate and override the overabundance of ID and class rules that make generic user style rules virtually worthless.

Isn't the fact that *any* have affirmatively selected something they like better worth respecting? Why would those who don't care or don't know be more important? Are most web users not using personal computers, devices which by design are intended for users to customize as desired to suit their own personal needs and preferences?" So which is it... the number of users who do or don't doesn't have anything to do with it, or because it involves a "subatomic sized minority of users" when it comes to user stylesheets, suddenly the number of users involved does matter? ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
