Yes, and you have my apologies.  I, too, am irritated by those who 
criticize but cannot even get my name right.

The scrollbar has no place in the box model, nor do we have a standard 
for addressing of the parts of a scrollbar.  Even if the scrollbar had 
a place in the box model, I would want the scrollbar to remain 
functional and normal rather than tawdry and less usable.  Sampo 
Syreeni has made a good argument in another message 
(<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2001Sep/0058.html>).

/* user-power.css */
 * {
    cursor: auto !important;
    overflow: auto !important;
    resizer: both !important;
    user-input: enabled !important;
    user-modify: read-write !important;
    scrollbar-style: normal !important;
  }

That style sheet would @import url("user-power.css"); .

The issue of user style sheets tailored per Web site (and per document 
type) is worthy of its own, separate discussion.
