This default session expiry behaviour is exactly what gets my goat...<BR>
;-) There's nothing graceful, imho, about clicking on a link and being<BR>
sent, by default, to the site's start page. If the default were to<BR>
send users to a simple "session expired" page, that would change<BR>
things completely for me...<BR>
