[thelist] trouble with a table

It's probably due to the IE box model bug at
http://www.tantek.com/CSS/Examples/boxmodelhack.html
My widths in my style sheets are all specified at a maximum of 99% as a result
of this. The edges don't line up quite correctly, but I've settled on not
having exact edges versus having my <div>'s positioned in strange locations on
my page, as IE5 accounts for too large a portion of my audience to ignore
them.
