LOL -- lawsuiits, eh? I never thought of that possibility. I do know that their new (prior to the current one) format screwed up my auto-archiver that worked on their original line-at-a-time format. My archiver screen-scrapes, so when they changed the entire page format, my archiver quit working. I did a bunch of analysis on what each of the various (undocumented) URL parameters did. I decided fixing it to capture data from their new format would have taken more time than I was willing to spend. I mean, c'mon ... it's a HOBBY. Recently they changed their format again. I would have been really ticked if I had spent serious time implementing fixes, only to have them re-write their interface again. The nerve of those guys. You'd think they would have contacted me before making a decision like that. Sheesh. Sure is a pretty day. TED
