I believe that gc.com actually likes what we are doing... and or they 
consider us grandfathered in.  Either way, they have been very nice in 
letting us continue to scrape their site on a daily basis.
We only had to write some speed throttling code into the crawler so that 
it wouldn't activate their auto blocker... We've been told as long as we 
don't exceed an certain rate that we should be fine.
