Cybersquatters, I think one calls them.

A site that compares different translations to each other (a sort of 21st century Hexapla) would be interesting, but I care less about the actual translations than I do about the text that they are translating. I find them a useful guide, by which I can ensure that I have the general sense of a sugya, but I’m less inclined to be wowed by their individual differences than I am by the differences between different Bible translations.

Not sure why that is, to be honest.
