this post is going to all newgroups so it is not an error.
i just tried to pull up a page from ziff-davis and when i refused to let 
the 
server 'set a cookie' the page stopped loading. it did this several 
times and 
the only way i got on the page was to trick the server by hitting reload 
and 
stop.
i believe the practice of 'setting cookies' is an insidious means of 
gathering 
information on people for the practice of selling lists.
and that this is a gross infringment of our civil right to privacy.
i am posting this to all newgroups in the hopes that i can gain support 
from 
the masses and with email, snail mail, telephone, whatever, that we 
internet 
users as a group can stop this deplorable means of stomping on our right 
to 
privacy.
i have already written email to ziff-davis, as well as infoseek, 
expressing my 
views. others, such as microsoft are guilty of this truly vile means of 
invasion.
SO WAKE UP PEOPLE! TELL THESE USUPERS OF DECENCY JUST WHAT YOU FEEL 
ABOUT THIS!
