Imortyl Pussycat: Just to clarify, I had no intention of this thread being nasty or causing grief to any given program. It's too bad that there's been some defensiveness evolving from the discussion, but such is life.

It's been enlightening though, as I was unaware of the extended superseding of cookies until this discussion evolved, and it's been interesting to see how at least one program owner views their affiliate's cookies being jacked (and undoubtedly there are others who share the same point of view).

As an affiliate, I guess the best one can hope for is that a program does their homework prior to adding a 3rd-party utility such as this and realizes exactly how it works and what potential impact it can have on their affiliates perception of having it intercepting the links.
