PCM Corvette itching for action.

Actually, I got a simpler, up-close-and-personal, bitch about what JLA
is doing. When I clicked the link and visited the site, JLA left me a
persistent cookie (tagged 'machine-id'). (Not just a simple session
cookie to help with navigation of his website). That cookie expired at
the end of 2023 and linked my IP address with a JA internal index
(visitor or customer) identifier number. That data is now in his
database. Nothing wrong here--just sleazy IMHO.

I object to this sort of behavior. I trash outrageously persistent
cockies as soon as convenient and block their replacement. I try to
avoid web sites that "need" to store any piece of my personal
information for the next 18 years. If JLA is collecting your phone
number, that documents a business relationship and makes it legal for
him (and disclosed business partners) to place junk phone calls to you.

I'm not going to waste the time visiting JLA again but someone might
visit the site and see what his Privacy disclosure page says -- if he is
operating afield from what he has disclosed then he is in violation of
the law.

You guys are really a piece of work. Isn't this group about Corvettes
and not about whining which you seem to be doing entirely too much of?

If all you have time to do with your life is to come up with lame
gripes such as the one that Paul H has spewed, then really you should
consider ending it all. Remember down the road always works better
than across the street.

Also, if you are going to put something out there, at least put it in
context. Yes, I also observed a cookie from the JLA FORUMS on my
system that expires in 2023. But you must understand, this is a
function of the forum software and many websites do the same thing as
well...some of which most of you have on your systems as well.

Take a look for yourself. If you are running Internet Explorer, just
click "Tools" at the top of your browser page and the select "Internet
Options" Midway on that window, you will see a button that says
"Settings" Click that and then select "View Files" A window will pop
up. Scroll or look to the right at the top of that window and you
should see a heading that says "Expires" If you click "Expires" twice,
it will arrange the files in this folder by the expiration date in
decending order. Here is an example of the cookies and expiration
dates I found on this computer which will be similar to what you will
discover unless you are using a cookie blocking program.

Again, if you have a problem with the JLA site, why the heck do you
visit the site in the 1st place.

Now please, quit your "bitching" and keep this immature BS out of this
group.

Jim Adam? Is that you?

Physician, heal thyself. How many times are you going to make this point?
Or perhaps, in your special case, bitching about bitching is somehow
defensible, and even praiseworthy?
