This might be of interest to the Open Data discussion people.
I take this quote slightly out of context, purely for the laughs
"the intention of many of those making freedom of information requests
was to trawl through scientists' work with the intention of trying to
find problems and errors. "It's also quite true that these people do
not care about the fact that it is causing a serious inconvenience,"
Yes. who are these people trying to find problems and errors and not
caring about the problems it causes.
