Karl,
You raise an interesting point about automatically uploading the results.
I noticed the option was checked by default and it didn't bother me in the
least. I definitely want to publish my results but could see how others
may not want to.
We should probably list the website where results could be found right next
to the flag and a way to tag the results with a username or nickname and
supply the person with a direct URL to their results so they can send to
their friends and brag :)
