--- Comment #3 from David Cook <dcook at prosentient.com.au> ---
Good point. I don't know much about setting cookies, but I like the idea.

That said, it would mean that different staff members would have different
results  in different browsers rather than one consistent result across the
board. In my experience, staff don't tend to think about the date ranges on the
side. They either just press the submit button or accept the results that
they're given (if the report is automatically generated as in Bug 8454). 

In terms of policy, it's easier to have staff check a set range of dates that
the manager or systems person has set up with the system preference, rather
than relying on staff's knowledge of how far back to check for holds.
Admittedly, a cookie would solve the problem initially, but it could create a
problem where someone narrows the date range and then forgets to put it
back...and then staff think that there are no holds to pull, because they don't
realize that the range was changed. It seems too variable :/.

But that's just my opinion.
