Hi Rick, I haven't said that the decision isn't about money, nor have I said that it is: I've said I'm not in a position to comment on it because I was not in the company at the time that decision was made so I am not privvy to the reasons for that decision, and I don't see the benefit of speculating about why the cookie length is what it is - neither is changing the cookie length my decision. I haven't denied that it is an issue relevant to affiliates. Further to arranging for it to reviewed by those people within Paddy Power who have the ability to change this and passing on the comments posted here and sent to me, I'm not sure what you'd like me to do further?
