Maybe UA Insider does not want to come out and say it, but if the reason they are killing this info is to deal with tools such as EF that were hitting the UA servers hard for this info and then re-selling it, I'd have a hard time blaming UA for saying "enough is enough". I also don't see an easy way around this. Requiring a user to solve a Captcha is one way to go, but thinking about it, there's no obvious, elegant way that I can see to integrate that into the site, and perhaps after a cost/benefit analysis, it just didn't seem worth it.
