Hi-ya All

I have a couple of things, slightly off topic, so
please bear with me.

I am curious about Topix.net's terms of service, I
will contact them directly if no one has any pointers
or no one from topix.net is listening.

They say in their faq you may not "take the results
from the Service and reformat and display them". Now
this sounds pretty limiting, depending on the way you
read it. If you define everything topix.net produces
as the Service you could say that you are not allowed
to ever put any topix.net feed into any news reader,
which seems a little bit severe. How does one define
the Service? Every news reader out there reformats and
displays. Does anyone have any comments?

And on another topix.net related issue, when I try a
typical url which I get from a topix.net feed it fails
in IE but not in firefox. Is this an IE error (ie IE
is blocking the redirect), or some sort of topix.net
reaggration prevention scheme? Do these links expire?
for example:
http://topix.net/r/05j525XYQmo8VlBBUPUWa9BbbTVycOau9vgDk=2Bl1ukNwMkNnHED0CxHeAtDKmxTX0lgU0tY9rpTYBt2uczfx5D7RoFjFOrPHuTJ7nFFMfU7y5mExVgT1fVw8IW4vlwZR=2F

thanks and take care

kent
