I think this is where our school of thought parts ways. Network transmission
is fininte, session usage lives as long as the user is on the site and session
not expired. So if 400 people get a direct mailer and hit the site to sign up

i think we have trade-offs to both ways of persistence here...
if i may ask:

- if you are not using ActionForm objects (nor any Struts tags for
that matter, if you're only using c:out and POHTML), then what
features of Struts are you using?
