 * thanks guys that answers it for me. i know the redundant bits equate to a fraction
   of a fraction of a second, but somehow i feel better being rid of them.
 * i figured they could go, but had that nagging “what if” thought.
 * zeniph- i have done a few searches and looked at several templates. you’re right,
   there’s a lot out there.

 * well it’s the default theme, so i figured you all had a copy.
 * I guess I will clarify the above example. There are several sections to the style.
   css file. There is a typography section for all the lovely text and background
   formatting. There is also a structure section that deals with the padding, margins,
   position, etc.
 * in typography we have this:
    #page { **background-color: white; border: 1px solid#
   959596; text-align: left; }
 * in structure we have this:
    #page { **background-color: white;** margin: 20px
   auto; padding: 0; width: 760px; **border: 1px solid #959596;** }
 * As you can see there is a bit of repetition with the CSS. That’s just one example
   among many. Is there a reason that would be there other than to create a nightmare
   for updating the CSS?
 * I can strip it all out no problem, but if someone has a cleaner version it would
   make things a bit easier as the file is nearly 700 lines long, and tracking down
   redundancies kind of sucks.
