Comment (by mttp):

 Users are configuring their Safari/IE browser to proxy through Tor, then
 visit check.tpo and see a happy message that they are using Tor
 successfully. Even if a user agent check wouldn't detect everyone who did
 this, getting a warning message to some people would help deter this
 behavior.

 I don't think there is a good way of noticing the difference between
 someone using their browser's proxy settings and some using a Tor router.
 I'm not sure if we care about this difference or not.
