I find that proxying is rather a complex issue to control. Most would not bother to use proxy. I find that malicious scripts at user end hard to control. I also believe some ISP providers make themselves vulnerable to proxy-abusers. I read some of your articles highlighted here. I find that proxying is rather a complex issue to control.

On that note though, I am glad to hear that you are rolling out features that will be fixing some of the more controversial elements of Tynt, please keep me posted on the changes you make.

In our current beta testing cycle we are looking to learn how we can be a valuable part of the online community and as you put it, exhibit 'ethical' proxying, so that both the users of Tynt and the sites being Tynted can benefit. The community has (generally) :) been very supportive and has had a lot of constructive input into our current beta cycle that we will be putting into our final product, and for some of the urgent items, like making sure that Google doesn't index what we are doing, we are rolling out hot fixes to the beta.<br><br>Thanks again to you and all of the people in the community who have been helping us make this work!
