I think it's pretty bad form of Groundspeak to break your T&Cs pretty badly considering they're pretty precious about their T&Cs. You couldn't find a more closed company when it comes to their sites, scraping, no API etc. They ought to understand that they have concerns about their servers which they dont want hammered from scrapers, but are happy to do likewise to others? Bad form, bad form. Posting with anon name because don’t want any retribution from groundpeak for my opinion.

I actually thought it was quite funny to get the Easter Island cache list. Maybe I'll go there some day. I think it was a bit rude on the part of Groundspeak to miss use the service. I personally don't use that particular search very often but I was planning a trip out of state and thought I'd check it out. Groundspeak has some other issues that need to be addressed. Anyway thanks for the update. Happy Caching Jim Thanks for the info. I actually thought it was quite funny to get the Easter Island cache list. Maybe I’ll go there some day.
