Whatever happened to the old standby:

"customer dissatisfaction with website shenanigans = customer not using site
anymore"

That has effected more change in retailers behavior than anything else in
history

Ben,

Thank you for the explanation. There are a few other sites that take their
time (and I don't recall which ones as it's been a while.) But, the most
annoying is PayPal.

Each time I use PayPal it keeps me logged in until I have to follow their
"don't keep me logged in" link. Apparently there's no way to opt out for all
instances of use.

Best regards,

Rich
