Curionsity got the best of me so I fired up my Linux box and tried it.  At
the URL previously cited I can log in just fine.  This box is a default
install of Fedora Core 3 using Firefox version 1.0 preview release with
user-agent set to: "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; rv:1.7.3)
Gecko/20041020 Firefox/0.10.1"

Of course, you have pointed to some restrictions that will start after 31
Jan.  Where do we go to read about this change?  If I educate myself a
bit, I'll be able to complain better.  :^\
