the whole point of my post was to identify a solution that obviates
government regulation. if we all agree on freedom of choice (OPT-IN)
then we don't need coercion. i agree with most of your points, except
perhaps the stuff about violence- these common sense/courtesy practices
are law in Europe and i dont see people getting horsewhipped in
Trafalger Square for writing sneaky code. irony is few people take
advantage of the laws there, but at least it is there for those who
know/care.

i agree. but when ad agencies and networks of corps decide to
personalize all web activity because it is good for business, then the
only defense available to most people is to disable all cookies.

this would be a good solution if it were on the web beyond lynx...
anyway, why is it hard on cookies to say, >please enable cookies for
this session only to play< and give users the info and the choice?
