Since you asked:
I personally have never liked the concept of stylesheets, and I almost
always surf with stylesheets off on my browser. Although we are getting
way offtopic from this list here. I always thought that stylesheets try
to do what cannot be done (at least I have never seen it done well):
make the online look like print. As has already been pointed out
several times in this thread, things that look good in print one way
will look good online a different way and "the two shall never meet".

Just my two bits. :) SiKing.
