Hi Brian, This is a frequently asked question on css-d (and in web design circles in general) but one that has no right answer, is entirely personal, and liable to get people upset at others opinions. Because of that, and because it's not really a discussion of how to use CSS, it's not really on-topic to discuss on the list here. If you wanted to talk about *how* to hide styles from certain browsers, instead of *if* you should, that would certainly be on topic. Thanks, Zoe -- Zoe M.
