Here's the deal: I did an experiment to see if I could get all
the Starbucks coordinates from their website. I thought the results
were interesting, so I posted my KMZ file to the GE forum. For
whatever reason, it got ranked high enough to show up in the list of
Community placemarks. Now I'm getting all kinds of mail, asking me
to either correct the database, or to take it down entirely. I can't win.

Personally, I would rather support local businesses, and it makes me
sad to be branded the "evil Starbucks guy". I will leave my KML file
on the forum, but will try to find a way to not have it show up by
default in GE. For now, just uncheck "Travel Information", and all
the bad Starbucks will go away. Sorry it got out of hand.

Also, I am not maintaining or updating this data in any way. I'm done.

Regards,
Jim
