Hi Josh,

   I think this is a great idea.... of course I'd also like to keep
improving the EMarket product and make it more useful. For what it's
worth, I'm working on a non-cookie based session management system for
EMarket... simple, but should be workable.  Also... it can already do
secure transactions (that's what the transaction server product is
about), unless I'm missing your point. I'm also going to look at the
new Cyber Cash product where I get chance and make sure that EMarket
interoperates with it properly. I'd like to make EMarket simple, but
flexible so that different folks could use it either as a starting
point, or a 'ready to go' Product in very diverse ways....

   Also... thanks for the indirect feedback on EMarket. I've gotten
precious little of that. ;-)

take care,
-steve
