Hehe, actually, I hate complications... Maybe I am just looking for an 
easy answer to building sites with EMs vs PX or %.  :(

Well constructed EM layouts are very impressive to me.

I love that about EM layouts, but it seems so imprecise... I come from 
more of a print background - I wonder if I will ever shake that 
"perfectionist" attitude?

Very good point. I think I am also one who needs to learn how to 
break-away from pixel perfection.

Very true. Hehe, sometimes I forget that most folks stick to one browser...

Well, great information/advice (as always) and thanks for sharing, I 
really appreciate your time and expertise.  :)

Have a great day.
