I agree with you not to offend them, but my script does use the site in
an "interactive" way, because there is no other way but following the
links from the start page to the site you/i want since the "position"
(in means of URL) of the actual data changes from day to day anyways, so
there is no way of directly "stealing" the content.

What do you think.
