Model Forum / General / Railroads / November 2004eMagazines
For the benefit of those who are not aware, I am publishing two monthly eMagazines, each devoted to a particular Narrow Gauge modeling community. Take a look ...

I use Zone Alarm Pro to block third party and persistent cookies. Zone Alarm tells me that your magazine uses both. I use Spybot to block spyware. Spybot tells me your pages attempt to download spyware. Why should you need those technologies? Why should I let you invade my system?  SignatureJim McLaughlin Please don't just hit the reply key.

[quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Jeff Law > New Zealand I have already had an off-list discussion with Jim on this topic and advised him of the following ... 1. The eMagazines use cookies for ; a) preventing double-counting on the Hit-Counter, and b) preventing one viewer for voting more than once in any one Poll/Survey. This surely doesn't constitute unreasonable use of cookies as it was the type of use that Netscape designed them for in the first place! 2. I believe his SpyBot software is incorrectly configured or has it's own inherent faults, as no spyware is involved anyware on the sites. My server is a brand-new one (I built it and know it's complete history) and has had Zone Alarm Pro preventing any hacking from before it's first connection to the internet. Anyway, it comes down to a personal choice as to whether a model railroad enthusiast wishes to read these megazines and make use of the free resources offered - I simply do them as a 'labour of love' because of my own pleasure gained from HOn30 and On30 modeling. Already, nearly 2000 unique viewers have had a 'fossick' qround the pages of these magazines, and all reports (other than Jim's and a few who were running incompatible browsers) have been very favourable! Jim seems to be under the misapprehension that there is something dangerous about cookies per se. In fact, they were a Netscape invention designed to help web-site developers achieve the type of safeguards for whaich I use them. Anyway, take a look at the magazines and decide their usefulness for yourself!!
