I disagree with the concept of cookies as well, though my overactive
imaginiation is giving me a pretty funny picture of a little flying robot
attempting to fasten some Borg-esque device to the back of my Nissan.  :)

I guess I don't know how cookies work, but I figured that most of the
information that cookies provide would still be provided even if you
delete them right away.  But piping things to /dev/null is just fun
anyway, so that's all that matters to me.  :) 

FYI, I probably won't be able to attend the LUCI meetings for a while
because I am taking a class on tuesday night.  :(  I'll try to be more 
annonying via luci-discuss to make up for my absence, though.
