Your posts will probably not be recognized as being yours by the server (depending on the severity and nature of the typo) and will be politely refused because the server can't recognize you.

No, you don't need to enter the info exactly as before to get the cookie for the second machine. But if you want the cookie to be (...) (26 years ago, 20-Oct-98, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Huh. Looks like a great idea, although I can't get it to work for me -- Navigator 4.5/Linux seems to have an inexplicable brokeness in its file-browse dialog box -- it can't seem to find any files of any type.
