Actually, my browser of choice under linux is Konquerer, but I don't
think there is a windows port...

yes -- I was thinking about it on the drive to work and realized that
this is exactly counter to what we, as an advocacy group, should do --
we WANT people to view our site with IE because they are our "potential
converts" -- while it's a bit of a chuckle for an experienced user to
get trapped by a mere theme, it also means that our "site" would
dissappear off the map for an end-user should they happen to try the
theme.

not sure -- I was going from the top on down, I know I got past "cool",
but I wasn't really paying attention to theme names when I ran into
this -- perhaps a grep against the theme directory for "browsehappy"
would find the culprit...
actually, since I'm at work, I just created another account and checked.
the one that clobbered me was "debug" (and since I cannot get back to
the site to change it or even log out, I'd sure appreciate it if you
could reset this for me -- if that's not possible, kill my accounts
and I'll restart anew...)
