Hey webmaster if you're reading this can you change the name edgy735 back to Edgy?
If you check the details of both registrations you'll find them exactly the same! The only difference is the email!
My old email [email protected] doesn't work anymore so I reregistered cos I couldn't get that email back up to change details in the account!
Ali if you're reading can you let the webmaster know?
Thanks!

In essence, every time you visit a website, like this one, information about you from the previous visit you made is sent here, analysed, and sent back to you to your cookie file for this site. Most sites use them. I collect around 560 cookies per week, and delete them weekly too. Also, they enable the NEXT site you visit to find out what site you were at previously, although you can disable this (and cookies) if you would rather sites didn't know this kind of information about you. I would recommend "Teach Yourself The Internet" by Mac Bride if you want to glean up on it.
