What makes you think I don't have a copy of Opera? Just so happens
I've got a registred copy on my newest computer.

My copy of Opera doesn't have that menu entry. I suspect you're making
platform-specific suggestions.

Trying it on a different platform, it looks like it does what I said
earlier: user mode simply disables the authors style sheets. None of
the "merging" you suggested was going on is actually happening

Can you demonstrate this "merging" you talked about? For example, show
me how to get the "Opera help" page to display with the authors layout
but my fonts.
