In the same vein, thanks to KVS for ruining the flightstats.com availability by scraping data from it in a manner inconsistent with what the website was designed, and thereby flightstats decided to delete the function so that the rest of us using it the way it was intended no longer can. And yeah, I'm one of those you were referring to who doesn't even use the KVS tool.

Perhaps think of it more along the lines of some really good deal that someone finds. They then post the details of it, and suddenly everyone is taking advantage of the good deal, including some who abuse the deal in trying to milk it for all it's worth. Then the business realizes that they're generosity is being taken advantage of and so they pull the plug, resulting in absolutely nobody being able to get the deal anymore. Likewise here, some of us were happy with the deal (ie. flightstats). But KVS saw fit to abuse that deal, and now not only KVS users, but legitimate users as well do not have access to the deal anymore. There was no blame there on the legitimate users, but full blame on KVS or any other similar tools or whatever that may have been scraping/accessing their data in a manner opposing to what was intended.

So be upset all you want, but it's KVS who's taken the first shots at legitimate users, not the other way around!
