It doesn't normally scrape before transmitting due to the several-second lag caused by scraping the data from FIRST.

Also, that very obvious notice about our team's first meeting isn't normally there, obviously. That makes it look rather ugly.
Ahh, ok. I just clicked the link, saw the page refresh and then assumed.
