A password system that, I remind you, controls your access to *two* things-
neither one of which even approaches being essential to normal use.

I think that Todd's reasoning, posted elsewhere in this thread, is
well-thought-out. Trying to deny there's another side to the issue doesn't do
much to refute it.

Does someone have a gun to your head? You'll just have to accept that from
certain machines, for now, you can't access all the features. That's a choice
you're making. It's also a choice that I'm making. It's really no big deal.
I promise.

Huh?

.... is not a "personal attack". It simply insinuates that his browser wasn't
designed to lose cookies (is there some browser that is that I don't know
about?) and that fixing his browser falls into his (ie, the Lugnet user's)
territory, and Lugnet didn't need to be designed around that.

So, you're allowed to make tongue in cheek comments about your perfect wisdom,
and I'm not?

Yes. You are right because you say you are, so you must be.
As I said, that kind of recursive logic really doesn't win any points in
debate. If this really is the best you can do, I'm done discussing it.
