Wow, that is wicked bizarre. Unless your browser is being sent the wrong
cookie somehow (I doubt it!) it sounds like a horrible browser bug.
It would help me know what cookie your browser thinks it's being sent. For
example, if I type in
-.loc. +.loc.us +.loc.uk +.loc.ca
as Larry did, my browser (NN4.7+/Linux) reports this:
The server www.lugnet.com
wishes to set a cookie that will be sent
to any server in the domain .lugnet.com
The name and value of the cookie are:
NEWSGROUPFILTER=-.loc.+%2B.loc.us+%2B.loc.uk+%2B.loc.ca
This cookie will persist until Mon Jan 18 21:15:44 2038
Do you wish to allow the cookie to be set?
which is correct.
