But Aaron messed with my brain by suggesting that a Firefox plugin
could change the header settings. Wow, what a dirty trick on Web

developers!

It's an even better trick on sites that allow search engine crawlers in,
but require the average joe to signup. Just change your useragent to be
Googlebot and see what happens... um, not that I'd ever do such a thing.
