This higher cost and difficulty of syncing is not a bug, it is a feature! And this syncing is going to get more difficult still when we get country level proxies. Servers have no business sharing information without the user's consent, and I therefore see not reason why sharing information in a sneaky way should be particularly cheap or easy. If they want to share, let them embed the info in a link where the user can see it. >Matthew Rubenstein North American Media Engines Koen.
