<p>This is one thing I've always questioned when it's been brought up in the past and the 'we don't need extra data' line is brought out.</p>
<p>Surely the more data, the better? Basic things such as length, location, max altitude are just generally useful information and doesn't detract from the validity or appropriateness of the page in any way whatsoever!</p>
<p>And if those bits of data are so useless, then why even bother with the trace route image? It's not as if you can use the thumbnail to accurately determine anything anyway!</p>
