Nice. Cripple the functionality of a major
hobby web site to support the customization
(inflexibility?) of a mysterious, 3rd party
application. I smell the repeat of gc.com maps.

Tremendous Effort? They've either made another
bad business decision or have hired the wrong
consultants. It's child's play to keep a list of
names up-to-date.
Groundspeak doesn't seem to be learning from
their mistakes. They are out of touch. They
continually fall into the trap of being a slave
to their software applications. And all members
suffer.
