Hi Uvi! You are so prolific and lucky, I would say!

I have recalled our "cookie conversation" and followed your advice: turned the "ask the permission to send a cookie" option in my browser. The result was astonishing - 99% of the websites ask to send me a cookie and not just one but a whole box! If I clicked now some sites would let me in and some would not. But all of them will ask to feed a cookie every time i click anything. Some new browsers, like MSNexplorer6 will not even start with cookies disabled!
In this cookie invasion we have lost! They will invade our computers this way or another.
It made me thinking (just a theoretical contemplation) - our computers are not really ours and should not be treated as such.
Our privacy should not be trusted or extended to anything that is not a part of us, more to say - not part of our heart.
This cookie thingy, indirectly, teaches us a lesson that the real us, our private things, meant to be kept within ourselves
responsively and not to be delegated to the machines or such.
Like in the old saying - give the Lord what belongs to the Lord and give caesar what belongs to a caesar.
Like your sculptures - they can not be invaded buy the cookies!
Your sculptures - they are really yours, private and exposed and free from any fear or concern to be "cookied"!

Thank you for sharing you work in this forum.

Ilia
