After reading your negative response to my post requesting a basic respect for my efforts (and others) to provide a general purpose access to D-STAR information, I have rewritten this reply many times to tone down my utter disgust with this "if its there, I can abuse it" mentality. The jFindu pages make use of data gleaned from APRS (you can create your own databases from the APRS-IS feed) and the dstarusers.org database which I am partly responsible for its operation and maintenance. The information is made possible by the repeater sysops and they are free to not feed dstarusers.org and/or feed other database(s) as -they- see fit. Because I saw no decrease in activity (possibly due to an attitude such as yours), I have disabled the jFindu pages from doing lookups on reflectors. I will be happy to reinstate these privately supported pages when I am notified by the author of the pages that improperly include unauthorized iframes that those pages have been disabled. I am sorry for the inconvenience but I do not wish to see everyone's jFindu and dstarusers.org experiences be degraded by one or two errant web site authors. 73, Pete Loveall AE5PL
