OT: Yes, I know about the RB cookies, too.

lubid and lubid2 will watch everywhere you go on the internet - and whenever you dial up an Akamai partner website (like Google, Yahoo, MSN) they will relay that information back to "papa."

I have a special Firefox browser setup for when I use RB. It automatically signs me out and erases all cookies upon Quit.

If you don't log off RB, and just "x out" of the browser window, the cookies they leave keep operating and respond to other programs as well. Some of the little "gifts" from RB can actually track and report keystrokes to the RB cgi interface.

Can you explain how an RB cookie keeps operating and responding to other programs after I've left the RB site?
