On to the current situation. Soaringcafe.com started their want ads by "scraping" Tim's ads. Every glider that went up magically appeared on Soaringcafe.com. This is truly unfortunate, because I have otherwise found Soaringcafe.com to be an excellent resource with great content. But in this case, they clearly crossed a line to seed their own want ads by stealing from Tim's 10+ (maybe 15) year program of providing this service for free in order to drive more traffic to their (Soaringcafe.com) site that appears to be a money-making effort, based on their numerous ad placements. There doesn't seem to be much of a difference between this and the SSA attempting to put Hawke Tracking out of business. It also appears that some of the same people may have been involved. While there has been much questioning of Tim's character, no one seems to have asked the opposite questions...
Thank You, Kevin.
This had needed to be brought out once, again.
I was hoping that some of the other RAS users would have long enough
memories to have recalled this previous incident, exposed by users of
Tim's classifieds finding their ships being advertised at an
unauthorized source.
I thought some of them would step forward.

Tim is justified in not allowing the use of his web assets to further
the business of those engaged in the act of stealing from him.
