lanejudy - Thank you so much for your response. It sure is a different world out there. I think I see the issue from what you say. Someone decided to write what we used to call a "screen scraper" app - a front end to the DISBoards. But of course that's subject to HUGE maintenance issues - because it has to change every time even the most minor thing changes on the actual source.
So I guess the question - that probably can't be answered - is why it can't be removed. I suspect again that it actually CAN be (somehow) but might take legal action that may not be worth the trouble.
It's a shame because it can on'y hurt DisBoads rep (though I admit not likely by much).
OK - my obsession with this is over, and I'll turn it to something far more worthwhile (trip planning for 2018!!!)
