Nabble's need to expire sessions and to clear the cookie data properly upon session expiration and upon logout

I prefer sessions to:

• persist until the user explicitly logs out from Nabble
• not expire when the user quits or exits from the browser
• not time out.

<http://plone.org/support/forums> is a good example of an area comprising multiple list archives in which time outs would lead to confusion and/or frustration.
