The information I gave earlier about the bad cookie monsters?

Here's what happened when trying to access "newspage"

The Guard-Dog Icon popped up and stated:

A.) "The web site host 'focalink.com' is trying to save information on your computer. This third party site may be using cookies to track your browsing habits. Do you want this host to set cookies on your machine? Guard-Dog suggests "No"

This is really getting interesting by the click. I bring up my newspage account, it asks if I want a cookie, I say yes, (Guard-Dog does not interfere with this part), then after saying yes, (Guard-Dog comes back with the above script listed under A.) when another "cookie pops up....... hmmmmmmmmm

So I found the focalink.com page and sent them this e-mail:

Subject:

I have a serious question about your company if you don't mind.

In using "newspage", I always log on with the "cookie" that states "This information is going to any server.". I always say yes, no problem.
But now after I say yes, and using Guard-Dog, it tells me its going into an account from focalink.com. Can you please send a statement
giving me exact information on what your using this information for, and to whom you may be sending it too.

Please give me a reason to trust that this information is not being used, sold, or anything else outside the "newspage" link.

Thanks ahead of your response.

Best regards,

Stephen Temple

We shall see !!! <gg>
