Well, logging out deletes the cookie, but yeah, I agree with your 
point.  If you want it to remember you, and the default is "unchecked," 
you check it once and you're done.  If the default is "checked" you have 
to uncheck it every single time if you don't want it to remember you.  0 
clicks / 1 click beats 0 clicks / unlimited clicks
