[APML] Re: Cookies - was New Hubble shots released

[Grant <GB1029@inter-linc.net>]

Although I allow cookies from certain sites, I don't like
that S&T 'requires' them.
There are many surfers out there like Jim that will refuse.
This will only serve to scare sceptic people away and
end up hurting S&T.  There is absolutely no reason why it should
be mandatory.  Even if you do access their issue archive.
My few pennies worth.
