Hello and happy new year to all!
Peter,
Hm, that's unfortunate. However, I've heard this complaint before.
Do you have any tips on how we can improve the situation?

Hi Piotr,
I don't have much to add, other than to say that I agree with most of
your points and to thank you for taking the time to write up your

scraping web sites for links and content.
Which eggs would you recommend for that? What should I avoid doing?
So far, I have been getting
