[WikiEN-l] blocking vandals

[Daniel Ehrenberg]

Perminant cookies would work, I'm just fundimentally opposed to them (actually, they would expire in 2038 (the end of the Unix Epoch) but that's different.). Jimbo- I think temporary bans would help for the reason Ed stated (but I accidentally deleted).  Perminant cookies are like spyware on someone's computer, whereas temporary cookies are like little temporary placeholders (I never was any good at anologies). Sorry for my slight randomness.
