Doc: No need to get insulting. It serves to lower the otherwise informative nature of your posts.
That said, are you suggesting that cookie jacking is acceptable even once the surfer leaves the site? You seem to be of the opinion that no one ever returns to the site and when they do, the original affiliate referral isn't entitled to that sale, but rather, the chat program that intercepted and sniped that surfer is entitled to it instead.
Let me just offer this. I spoke to one program owner who uses a competing "chat exit" who informed me that their program DOES maintain the affiliate's cookie.
Do you not agree that this is a friendlier alternative for all persons involved to have it setup this way?
Incidentally, it makes no difference to me if its one sale that returns, or a 100. The amount is irrelevant. The issue is when it does happen, who gets credit and is cookie jacking an acceptable practice.
