"This information" = their posting name? That is in fact stored, unencrypted, in a cookie...

> Just a possibility - Dr. Bob, could this be how this happened or do you think it was a security breach at PSB?

I'm biased, of course, but I don't think it's a security breach on this end. But I don't know anything about "cookie stealers". And I'd really like to see that email...
