I mentioned to the Webmaster of a commecrial (hardware vendor) site that it
was
quite annoynig to have to discard 20 cookies to get to their catalog pages,
and another 20 to back out of it. He sent me a reply suggesting that I turn on 
cookies so I wowuldn't have to bother with it (I had already explained. in
detail, why I wasn't going to do that) then accused me of "bitching" about
having to cancel all of them twice.

 RT> It's their loss,  eh?

It sure is, in this case a loss of a little over $1000.  I guess they can
afford it!
