F::Q does do web-page scraping to get some quotes. My guess is that there's some coincidental overlap in the hosts used to obtain some quotes as well as serve ads. Some front-end Yahoo load-balanced server, most likely. If you care enough, you could binary-search within that host list to figure out exactly which host causes the problem. I've seen a bit of F::Q sources and know how it interacts with gnucash. The dataflow is specific and uni-directional. AFAIK, F::Q isn't provided with any of your financial data apart from the quote source and symbol itself. Thus, it can't re-provide that data to any other entity. -- ...jsled http://asynchronous.org/ - a=jsled; b=asynchronous.org; echo [EMAIL PROTECTED]
