I was on one of the yahoo astro groups and the stupid thing
kept prompting me to take a cookie (4 different ones each
time I accessed a post!). So finally, I relented, let it give me
one, then another one. Within 10 minutes this SPAM astro
stuff showed up on my screen.

Well, moderator of that site, I will NEVER visit it now.

IMO, a site should issue one cookie, if needed, for itself only.
Instead, they hide the true origin and turn your browser into
a free for all. The next step is browser highjacking which has
happened to me twice already.
