> Nobody sees your name on that page except you, or somebody looking over your shoulder. Your own computer stores your posting name, as a convenience to you. When I open that page, my name shows as a convenience to me. If somebody who has never posted to Babble opens that page, the poster name and password will be blank. Nobody can see anybody else's information.
Right, that was a "dynamic" page generated with information ("cookies") stored on each user's computer. And not a "static" page on the server that looked the same to everyone. To try to prevent more confusion, I deleted the pages with those links.
