What would be ideal is bulk download in whole or in part from the firehose (say as .csv files), as well as the ability to do deep <i>ad hoc</i> queries against the firehose (perhaps a telnet to an SQL prompt). What I think is needed is a SETI@Home type approach to analyzing the firehose. What is the access point for this firehose of which you speak, anyway?

I have one simple appeal: please do not use light blue type on even lighter blue backgrounds! Older (as well as younger) people who may have vision problems, will be turned off by this. This print is reminiscent of the small print which appears on the bottom of pages which seem to deny claims made in large print in the main body of the ad. You know the old saying about this: The large print giveth, and the small print taketh away!
