This should be interesting....

That's not quite what I or Jochem said. What I do is basically a session system but it keeps the session data in encrypted cookies rather than using a server-side solution. I'm working on an article for my website that describes exactly how I'm doing it and what the issues are but it's not ready yet. I'll let the list know when it's done. -Stut -- http://stut.net/
