First, login sessions lasted forever.

Then, they lasted as long as the browser session (I guess meaning the
cookies were non-persistent).

Now, they seem to be even shorter.  Looking through my browser's
cookie expiration times for what comes closest to fitting, I'm guessing
they're around eight hours.

Is there a _reason_ for the inconvenience, or is this just one of those
security policy things (many of which are well known to have a rather
arbitrary relationship with actual security)?

Main thing I can think of that one could really abuse with a site login
is to spam the lists, and I imagine that any accounts used to do that
are throwaways anyhow.
