True enough (that's generally my approach), though you'll likely also spend time managing cookie permissions and trying to figure out why sites mysteriously seem "broken". At least that's my experience. Many sites seem to assume that you've enabled cookies and don't bother to test and warn the user that cookies are required for feature X or form Y to function properly. ________________________________________ Joe Shisei Niski Portland, Oregon, USA 至誠 _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
