Nice catch. I've just sent them a cease and desist, and locked that
domain out of my lists. They were archiving my entire site for me, and
never bothered to ask.

In fact, I just went and checked. Their *entire* hockey section is my
site, or outside lists they found by using the list index on my site.
And all this is is a set of Mhonarc web interfaces. Sheesh.

Man, what a farce. They're hooked up to linkexchange, there is
absolutely no info on the site. This is beyond clueless.

If you have auto or sports oriented lists, better go take a look and
see if you're on it.
