Too bad. What would be nice is letting me take explicit control of my cookies,
that is, go to a page where LUGNET shows me all my LUGNET related cookies
currently present on the machine, if any, and currently stored in my member
record, if any, in a user readable display format, and lets me manipulate them.
That is, let me edit them explicitly (in that same user friendly display
format) let me copy one to the other, let me delete from either place and so
on. Only if I am logged on at the time, of course. And give me an option to
"Flush all cookies and log me out, deleting the signed in cookie too" with one
command.
Given that you did this without creating a new page, I should have suspected it
wasn't quite that flexible. Even as is though, it's going to be of some help.
One could argue, why not get a general cookie manipulation program to do that
(they do exist)?... but that's not necessarily something that's available on
any random machine that you walk up to that has a web browser running but
doesn't allow access to anything else, for example.
