Hello,
Seems to me that if you charge a person for multiple sessions on any site that you are
opening yourself up to alot of angry people and possibly problems as well:
-If a customer does not know how to work there browser very well, then they may
*inadvertantly* start two sessions.(I know they should but ...)
-If they start a new session and forget that there is already one running.
-If they start a new session and the last one did not "let go".
-If someone 'guesses' their username/password.
I think that I would go with a single session per userid/password. All else gets
knocked off.
regards,
Nelson (first name ;)
