Cookies and RSS?

Gordon Weakliem ponders whether you need to support cookies in an aggregator. I started supporting that a long time ago in BottomFeeder - as Gordon mentions, LiveJournal used to use cookies. Once I added the support, there was no reason to take it out. The positive thing is that the cookie support is now just a part of the NetResources library in the public store - which means that anyone can take advantage of that support.
