Yes, I understand what CSS and CSS templates are. Yes, stylesheets are a 
brilliant way of ensuring the same look and feel across a site. But the 
code that drives the pages, be it asp or php, always degenerates into a 
entropic mess after passing through two or three hands. I'd say that 
this is a law of nature (Laura Natcher?).
