Okay - I thought I'd detected a slightly different tone in your comments
here, but a newsgroup post is not a client contact of course.

Your strong opinion is appreciated. (Seriously.) But like I said, I'm
not in a position to advocate for a change of hosts. The project is on a
university server and I'm taking it over at a very late stage.

Yes, several people have put work in over a few years and the sole focus
must have been to "get it to work". I'm not saying it was the best choice
to put "that crap" in, I do see some arguments against this but some
for it too (see previous post). I wouldn't have done it in the exact
same way though. I'd be interested to understand better why you feel
so strongly, which aspect is it you don't like - larger code? You do see
that the effect of adding SID "manually" is the same as with the option -
adding a GET parameter only if cookies are disabled - except for an
unnecessary "?" or "&" in "my" version (which I would have taken care
to avoid if it really was my code) if cookies are enabled and SID is
therefore empty?
