a) the quote was in fact from a particular company (sure, it may look darn similar - but prove? and if you're really worried, fudge some details a bit) - sure, if it's a $10 million quote that's one thing.

Well, httpd style logs will certainly "tell" where the information came from.
b) who leaked it? it's completely anonymous. Think of all the 'senior government' officials that leak info all the time. Often times they're expressly forbidden from doing so and somehow the word still gets out. Very rarely is someone nailed for it. And that's hardly anonymous if push came to shove.
Uhh, make sure the data isn't stored anywhere vendor X's attornies can get to it. Rest assured, whoever hosts the site would be sent paperwork in hours, if not minutes from it's discovery. Btw, this is why froogle.google.com and pricewatch.com exist. Although, they do not include list prices for the types of items you are looking for. charles
