I see that FUDforum uses two mechanisms in parallel to define a session: Cookies and a session-id embedded in the URL (the &SQ=... part).

Now it sometimes happens that I want to communicate a topic or posting to somebody, either by email or by embedding a kink into a WebPage. So far, I have always edited out the Session-Id part of the URL in those cases.

I wonder about several things:

Why are both mechanisms used in parallel, aren't they redundant ?
Is there a security risk by communicating a URL to a posting with the session-id included (can happen by accident..) ?
The notification emails contain URL of a posting with different structure. Is there a direct way to obtain these URL of a posting (so that these URLs can be used for example in external WebPages pointing to a posting).
