Hi all,

I remove cookies from the underside of web surf board at regular intervals.

Cookies accumulate on my machine and destroy the streamlining.

This has caused probs with rejoining Mudcat.

Anyone else had troubles like this.

I get the impression that guests are seen to be disruptive party crashers around here. This is a bit intimidating.

Marcus Campus Bellorum Guestus Temporandum, Marc for short not president, DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED. Despite antediluvian and prejudiced statements from other crustaceans some critical thinking Mudcatters can see reason in a cookieless state and read more for content than net-form.

Looking forward to more posts from you.

Dearest Guest Marc,
Guests with names that stay same are not the problem, but to address your real question--I too delete all cookies on a regular basis. BUT, you can RE SET your membership cookie without a big hassle.

First, if you desire, join MudCat. Then, when you delete cookies, delete all, and come back to Mudcat. Go to the QuickLinks on the upper right hand side of your Lyrics/Discussion Forum. Click on the "Down Arrow" and then click on ReSet cookie. Follow all the instructions after that, and you should not have a problem with either your cookie or your membership. But Please, do not be intimidated by using Guest Marc, or what ever, as long as you are consistent, so that we know who we are talking to.

Guest Mark: your posts are always informative and stimulating, and never offensive. And as far as I can tell, you've never posted in the guise of anyone but yourself. So pull up a crab and make yourself comfy!

I frequently ditch cookies also. I usually manage to carefully avoid deleting the mudcat one in my purges, but sometimes get careless. I generally haven't had any trouble resetting it as described above, however I could see how that could get annoying if you nonselectively dump all the cookies and have to reset frequently. I used to have my computer set to ask about accepting cookies, but that also got annoying when the number of cookies in general increased to where single sites were wanting to set numerous cookies or I had to respond everytime I went back and forth between pages. No I don't have one of the filter programs

Which leads nicely into my favourite joke!

Declan the humble crab and Kate the Lobster Princess were madly, deeply and passionately in Love. For months they enjoyed an idyllic relationship until one day Kate scuttled over to Declan in tears.

"We can't see each other anymore...." she sobbed.

"Why?" gasped Declan.

"Daddy says crabs are too common," she wailed. "He claims you, a mere crab and a poor one at that, are the lowest class of crustacean... and that no daughter of his will marry someone who can only walk sideways."

Declan was shattered, and scuttled sidewards away into the darkness to drink himself into a filthy state of aquatic oblivion.

That night, the great Lobster Ball was taking place. Lobsters came from far and wide, dancing and merry making, but the lobster Princess refused to join in, choosing instead to sit by her father's side, inconsolable.

Suddenly the doors burst open, and Declan the crab strode in. The Lobsters stopped their dancing, the Princess gasped and the King Lobster rose from his throne.

Slowly, painstakingly, Declan the crab made his way across the floor...and all could see that he was walking not sideways, but FORWARDS, one claw after another! Step by step he made his approach towards the throne, until he finally looked King Lobster in the eye.

There was a deadly hush.

Finally, the crab spoke.
