By the way, I only stick to lighter themes (especially lately) because I don't feel qualified to speak of much else, but this is very scary, indeed. And maddening. I'm quickly moving out of the Microsoft development environment (just as their server-side platform is getting much better)—not only because I now know other things (I've never been a hard-core techie; I worked with what I had and learned as I went along.), but, increasingly, because of crap like this.
