Annoying isn't it? Browsers can do a lot of things like this apparently, a fact which their makers arn't advertising. Profiling = big money I guess. Anyway, I just read an article in comp.os.linux.announce describing a progrom JUNKBLOCKER or something with JUNK in it that will block a lot o this kind o stuf, filter ads (saving you download time), etc. I thought you might be interested. I like six eggs when starting on a journey. Fried - not poached. And mind you don't break 'em. I won't eat a broken egg. -- Thorin Oakenshield
