Would you expect it to work any other way? ;-) Not really... I guess that's the point I was trying to make. I have cookies turned on because they make my life easier; Amazon (for instance) already know my address and credit card number, so I can't really object to the cookie -- I wouldn't have told them all the other stuff if I thought they were going to misuse it. I guess it all depends on how paranoid you are :) Scott -- =========================================================================== Scott Mitchell | PGP Key ID |"If I can't have my coffee, I'm just <scott@dcs.qmw.ac.uk> | 0x54B171B9 | like a dried up piece of roast goat" QMW College, London, UK | 0xAA775B8B | -- J.
