I've definitely hit it. I know I've logged the thing out several times
with multiple browsers windows, multiple tabs, etc.

Okay, I can set aside the paranoia about the web sites my kids are
visiting, relative to AdobeFlash. (Well, all except for one, which
I've asked my daughter to give up on. It keeps interrupting her
digimon videos with ads, some of which are not for children, and then
re-seeking the video. I think it's on purpose, although the pipes are
under holiday stress, too, of course.)

Thanks.
