Beyond my minor complaint above, I still find this tool to be a wonderful service to the webmaster community as a whole, and I fully endorse its usage. I'm quite eager for the launch of their full-blown service and have already applied to be a BETA Tester. As good as their free service is, I'm sure their paid service will be much more useful.
