Hi David, I see that you are a software engineer so maybe you can answer a question or 2 for me.

1) How does the "humble cookie" help me when and if I go back to a web page?

2) Since Double Click and a few others are placing most of the cookies on my computer, can they not track all the cookies that THEY place on the computer?

Now I will tell you why "I" don't want them. I am from an older generation that still likes their privacy and figure it is no ones business where I go or what I do unless I am breaking the law or harming someone. And I have some paranoid suspicion that they are somehow harmful (I was abused as a child and I am very insecure on top of that) <g> I do not believe that anything is as innocent as it appears when it comes to MY privacy.

Now don't take this as an "in you face" post because it is not. I am honestly wondering why people figure it is NOT such a big deal.

Thanks
Monty
