Well, duh, being able to manage which sites you accept cookies from and which you don't. Disabling cookies in your browser means you have to re-register or login every time you visit a site you may need to hit on a regular basis -- cutting off your nose to spite your face. A cookie-blocking applet lets you selectively accept cookies from sites where it's to your advantage and block them from sites where it's not. But then if you weren't as stupid as you seem to think I am, you'd know that. Duh. It's OT anyway, but Zuke was advising people to avoid using one of the best sources of tire and wheel info on the net because of a misplaced paranoia about cookies. Seems silly to me, about as silly as you copping a superior attitude on a subject where you are apparently not that well-informed.
