I posted my opinion on tool talk, and repeat it here: I'm with Gerald. (tool talk) Anything that requires cookies, can lead to adware and spyware, (viruses too) whether it comes from a host site or someone they sell your information to. We had over 300 data miners in ours sending out our email address and it's content and slamming us with spam--about 120 mails a day some trying to steal our credit card info with fake websites or our name and address. I don't know what info they can get with a name and address, but there are subscription sites that have your whole financial history and your SS for sale, so i think thats why these scam artists are after your name. One of the latest was stealing e-bay id's to sell things that don't exist, collect the money and run, ruining the real members rep. Currently they keep trying to get my CC # from my ISP with a fake website claiming my service will be shut off if i don't respond. Computer was so full of these spy programs it was extremelly slow as well. Finally we found programs to get rid of this stuff, learned how to set session cookies and delete them. For the most part we avoid sites that require cookies, but when we do allow them we go in and get rid of them as soon as we close the window. It's tiresome doing it this way as well. I think if this site goes to requiring cookies, i will stop reading it. All these scam attempts have made me decide not to post pictures of anything i own or disclose my address. Plus i tried to sell some things in the want ads and got several attempts from foreigners with the fake money order scheme, offering to send one for more than the asking price and you refund the dif, then when it bounces 3 weeks later, your out the item and the refund, and your bank account is frozen until you repay the bank. I pay my ISP for service and no one else needs to have my personal info and sell it for profit. Yikes.....is my opinion on cookies, and I'm taking a bigger view of it, than just a new page format.

Product Review: Black Tire Paint - by Staff. I have been fortunate in that two of my tractors have had rear tires that were in great shape when I bought the tractor. My model "H" even had the old style fronts with plenty of tread. My "L" fronts were mismatched Sears Guardsman snow tires, which I promptly tossed. Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
