Amen to you brother :)
I would think that jeremy would have made an exception for us by now.
We are doing it that hard way, but still getting all the data, but
despite having access to enough data to completely recreate the official
site, we still go to great lengths to only add value to the information
gathered off the official site, and to add links to the information that
we would normally just represent right on our site.
Speaking of links... everyone that has their own geocaching sites where
you have links to the geocaching pages on the official site, you will
have to update all you links to go to a page ending in aspx instead of
just asp... Just a heads up
