was on wsj.com Briefly went to another site. Tried to go back and get error message (multiple tries, including after closing browser) that site is doing something and it probably has something to do w/my denying cookies. Did NOTHING related to cookies - simply went to another site. Can access wsj.com on same computer using IE. First time this has ever happened.

did not need to. delayed getting back to this issue by another problem. read it and went to try but tried to access website again and it appeared as usual. Left that one for a couple of others and went back and it was accessible as usual again. so, it it ain't broke, don't fix it. appreciate help.
