Bob,

There's several issues with this.

1) They're providing the info which you're trying to pass it as your own and
most likely that they won't get any positive results, as some company do
analysis on visits to improve the marketing strategy, customer service,
customer relations, etc.  You're just skewing their data analysis and
prevent them from becoming successful.  Which may force them to go out of
business then you'll lose your source of information.
2) Waste of bandwidth.  3rd party > you > user instead of just you > user.
3) I'm don't like that fact that some people take others work and try to
pass it as their own.  I think many folks on this list feels the same way.
So why not just quote them and give them the credit they deserve.  That's
probably the reason why you're not able to find much info on how to do this
:)

Regards,
Tommy
