Hi wdyat12,

I live in the US, and I'm currently visiting with a Mudcatter in Canada. In order to post to the Mudcat, I have to use his computer. In order to post on his computer as CarolC, it is necessary for him to log out of his cookie, and for me to log on with my cookie. In his enthusiasm to make that post, he forgot to change to his cookie before sending it.

You don't ever have to worry about someone else using your cookie unless you, yourself have set it on a computer that someone else has access to. In order to set your cookie, you have to type in not only your screen name, but also your password. So you don't really have anything to worry about unless you are sharing a computer.

As far as the split personality thing is concerned, you'll have to ask my shrink about that.

Carol

P.S. flattop says you should never share your computer with assholes like him.
