Frankly I don't really understand how useful it is right now, regardless of where it appears in relation to the data. Near the beginning it says "By submitting a WHOIS query, you agree that..." and then near the end it says "By submitting this query, you agree to abide by these terms". Well, uh, the user has already submitted the query (and received its output), so how can anyone sensibly construe that the user chose to agree to any terms? It would be like someone asking me for a bag of chips, and me handing it to them. After they have the bag fully in hand, I mention thqat "by asking me for the bag of chips, you agree to let me kick you in the shins". Any reasonable person would persecute me if I were to then to kick him in the shins. -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
