A thoughtful message. Thanks. Basically my site absolutely relies on cookies for several things, such as the linear algebra workbench, standardized testing, and "My Homework".
Using cookies for maintaining state in applications like that is what cookies were originally intended for; it's reasonable to check and remind people to turn them on for those applications. But in general, they won't be useful for determining whether somebody's running a junk buster or not because lots of people do turn them off.
Maybe the desire to reject junkbusters users is due to my asshole personality rather than arational business thinking. I think that Tim is right, the clueless kiddos who visit algebra.com do not run junkbusters.
If 10% of them run junkbusters, it's no real problem for you. If 90% of them do, that'd be a different issue. Thanks! Bill Bill Stewart, bill.stewart@pobox.com PGP Fingerprint D454 E202 CBC8 40BF 3C85 B884 0ABE 4639
