And the list owners now recognize that scraping in defiance of user 
agreements  or web-site owners is illegal. And scraping and other 
improper acts in relation to websites causes the sorts of problems which 
  we have just seen with the demise of labs.zap2it. They stopped giving 
us a free feed because some people were abusing the privilege.

Isaac and others do not want that to happen again. They do not want to 
be associated with it in any way. If they did 'it' in the past, they no 
longer do, and regret having done so.

So there is no need to discuss scraping, nor any reason why you should 
encourage others to do so.
