Yes, it did and it's not up on the server yet... since I changed my
ISP... I thought about that the other day and then got busy doing some
stuff and forgot to let you know and send it up... I'll try to get to
that in a few mins.. the new addy will be
home.att.net/~mookie1/banner.gif or whatever format/name the old one
had.. If you're up to changing the code :)
Thanks for reminding me Todd!

Can't have the CLSotW page sending cookies out to people like that.  :-(

I have to figure out which images are doing it so that I can remove them
(and/or ask the owner to fix them so they no longer send cookies).  It
doesn't look like all the geocities banners send cookies -- only some.

How can I easily figure out which ones are doing it?  I have a hunch they're
from Jeremy's banners because those two show up as broken links when I
reject the cookies one by one manually.

Cookies are a Good Thing, but servers should *only* send them when the user
has explicitly asked for one.  Any other use of cookies is Evil.  >%^E  When
the banners were added originally, they didn't used to do this.

p.s.  Tamy, Zlatko (if you happen to be reading this) your image URLs no
longer work.  :-(  Did your files move?
