Thank you Aly for your post. It's an interesting website. Although, I disagree with most of it. People who are worried about cookies should consider installing a cookie management program. I clean out my cookies manually - *except the Pet Talk cookies* - once a week. I also read my junk snail mail before I throw it away.

   I remember when one of world's largest computer companies beta tested AltaVista. It was amazing. There was nothing like it. Although, even when they went public they did not have their own domain name. Then came Hotbot/Inktomi then came Google. Today DEC no longer exists and Google is amazing. It would be nice if Google had real competition.
