The handbook page at http://drupal.org/node/819168 instructs that .css files determine the content delivered to an end user device / browser. I am struggling to understand how this is true. I would appreciate an explanation of this concept.

Thanks
I've been stymied getting to know omega because of the CSS weighting thing meaning all the changes I made were ignored. This advice should help.
LESS / Alpha / Omega / Subtheme complexity.
I've been lured in by LESS.app and Omega. I'd love to design a responsive fluid grid much like (http://semantic.gs/ ) but am confused on if I should modify the aplha css files or the omega css files or my subthemes css files and which I should turn into (convert) to LESS files.
Any help or suggestions appreciated.

http://groups.drupal.org/node/206148 - Omega theme with Compass and SASS - what are the best practices?
It depends on if you are using a compiler locally or doing it server side via Sassy module etc.
You should leave the alpha & omega css files assuming they are in the base theme, just override styles in the subtheme as needed. It would probably be a good idea to start reading the omega handbook
http://drupal.org/node/819164 to get an idea of how the css layers stack & inherit.
You can just replace the subtheme/css/global.css with a subtheme/less/global.less & get it to compile into the css file.
This may help…
