Yeah, too oppresive, too closed, too much advertising, too slow.  The Clarinet
service, the PC-based version of Quottrek (sp?) and similar things are, I 
think, more the way to go, because you can receive the stuff without human
intervention and manipulate the results with programs, etc, rather than just 
printing it out.
