Brad, 

Take a look at the list archives, why don't you?

You'll see that over the years, many of the sources that F::Q has used have 
been problematic. Yahoo!, AlphaVantage, and others that I'm forgetting all have 
broken at one time or another, some permanently. 

F::Q as a web scraper has had to adjust to changes that the providers make to 
their sites, and the F::Q team has worked valiantly over the years to keep it 
working for users.
