I love telling Netscape to inform me before it accepts cookies. It's fun seeing who asks and whether they'll let you in The WSJ site won't let you in if you don't accept 2 cookies from it. It looks like they are an encrypted version of your username and password. Maybe Netscape could add a protocol which would let your instance of Netscape tell the server that you are on a diet and the Doctor told you not to accept any cookies. DCF
