On this point I am absolutely unwilling to bend.

In my mind it doesn't matter if it's set up in search engine style, indexed style, or doggy style, it is what it is. Theft.
I totally agree with you. BUT I also have to find ways to stop the wider spead of this thieft and if they are willing to give us free access to thier system in order to do that then why not start using it as a tool for our benifit? I have since my last post already sent out 2 C&D's due to content I have found buy using thier system. Not something I could have easily have done using a standard news group reader. Just some more food for thought.
