yummmmm chocolate?

That is weird, if your computer and browser are still up and running you should still be logged in. Maybe there is a setting that times you out, sure don't think something like that is possible.

Checked my settings, there is nothing I can see that would cut me off in a given time. I was off for about 3 hrs, and was still logged in when I came back, so now I'm REALLY confused! I won't worry about it until I get cut off for good.

Tried adding a P.s. to the above, but it's not working. Comes and goes, just like the smilies! Oh. well.
P.s. Chocolate, peanut butter, shortbread, chocolate chip..... I'm not fussy! :D

Regarding bots and internet surveillance, I came across an excerpt from a book that came out last month ,http://www.amazon.com/Dragnet-Nation-Security-Relentless-Surveillance/dp/0805098070

This is the excerpt http://theweek.com/article/index/258834/yes-you-are-under-surveillance

I also found out that the browser Google Chrome has an extension that reveals who is tracking you on whatever webpage that you visit. If you don't want that company to track you, you can delete that company's connection. The Google Chrome extension is called Collusion. I'm going to try it out this week.

For example, I just signed back onto GPF using Chrome and the Collusion extension and this is what I got:

This is a screenshot, but if you try it, you can roll over each round indicator and it will tell you who is notified when you visit this site.

Interesting!

How does that happen? If you go to the mitchandbev.com website there is no tracking listed there that I know of.

What is FF extension called?

The firefox extension is lightbeam. Yep must be your weather station. I still need to modify mine to do what you have done. On my list, just too busy right now to deal with it

I just checked lightbeam, got a ton of those things on it right now, cause I was bouncing in and out of sites for my sister.
