Wait a minute, are you guys really suggesting there should be *no*

email on public computers. I sure as heck want to know that if I
somehow fail to logout on a public machine, that my session will be
closed for me.
Enlighten me: WHat do you mean with "fail to logout"?
Either forget to logout, or the logout doesn't complete properly for
whatever reason (temporarily lost communication with the server, etc.)
The point isn't *why* the logout fails, the point is that a session
timeout is a safety feature in case, for whatever reason, a logout
doesn't happen.
