Point taken, but I'm not sure there's much harm in pointing out the fallacies in Kent's comparison of Phorm with Google. And it IS strange that they won't give us a user-agent string. I would have thought if they were trying to use that as an leverage argument for Phorm/Webwise's legality on the basis of presumed Webmaster consent if we didn't use the user-agent string, they would have done that a long time ago. It would seem there are two things they are worried about - one being the whole legality issue in the first place, and the second, being forced into an opt-IN model thus messing up all the bean-counter arithmetic of the advertising revenue model.
