It's in the paths George -- others also noticed it and noticed it better 
than I did due to the pointing schemes you were using. I missed that part.

Actually, Netscape's behavior is extremely logical -- if you tell the 
browser to go get something (in this case Personal.css), then it will 
render for the user if it's where you say it is. If it's not there, then 
the user won't see it. It's one of those rare cases where NN is behaving 
the way it is _supposed_ to behave.

Kind of like sending a letter to a friend at 99 CSS St. -- if your friend 
lives at 99 CSS St., then the letter will get there, but if your friend 
lives at 999 CSS St. Apt. #44, then your friend may never see the letter 
unless the letter carrier is a very friendly, understanding, IE-kinda 
person that knows what you _really_ meant when you addressed the letter.
