That I was tracking down an issue and seeing if I had resolved it.

If you read the response to "Micheal Jay's" you can gather a better idea of my network. I host my website with a firm but work out of my home. I use wired and wireless networking. I did not just single out cookies, but had previously determined that it was a contributing part of the problem.

I spend a lot of time at places that you are under attack from the moment you are on the website; I do research on these sites. I needed to make sure that no information was coming or going that I was unaware of, or would you rather that I unknowingly pass on some zero day exploit that I could have prevented (not that was the case here)?
