Not to worry, I changed the topic to something general...


   Where do you suggest that stateful information be maintained across several page hits during 
the life of a conversation between the server and client?  Cookies?  Querystring values?  Why 
would I trust information collected by the web server and intended to be used only by the web 
server to make a round trip to the client with every page?

   The only other way I can conceive of state maintenance that doesn't expose the data to the 
client, and doesn't use Session requires the use of a database engine - which is probably more 
expensive overhead than the session object.

   Forgive me for being dense, (and off-topic) but this is a discussion list, right?
