In general, I have a problem with "aggregators" that rewrite the URLs  
to their own domain. A true aggregator is going to point to the  
original source of the content, imho. To me, this strikes me as a  
scraper site used to steal content from other sites and claim it as  
their own. Maybe I'm wrong, but such practices have become big business.
