Of course there is the legal mumbo jumbo..
"Licensee shall not sell, rent, lease, sublicense, lend, assign,
time-share, or transfer, in whole or in part, or provide access to the
Data, Related Materials, any updates, or Licensee's rights under this
Agreement to any third party whatsoever."
By creating a PQ, you state you agree to all terms and conditions...
Sharing a PQ is a no no. How else would Groundspeak make their money?
I know, I know, I'm just saying!

There was a topic about a statewide query recently on the groundspeak
forums. Someone brought up being able to run it once a week too.
I was able to find this thread at
http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=182986
but I thought there was a more recent request, too.
Here's a slightly older thread with a better dialog
http://forums.groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=188561
Some possible reasons why groundspeak wouldn't want a statewide query to
happen as brought up in the thread
- Ease of sharing PQs with wide range of non-premium members
- Ease of competitor websites copying gc.com database
- Server load (questionable)
Having a team of cachers work together sounds like a good idea.
Another problem with the one statewide query is that I like to have my
queries run with my found caches excluded. Not having this option would
be no problem for people with GSAK, but what about people with Apple
computers? I guess they're in the minority, and its not like they're
losing the old method if this new feature is introduced. I actually just
installed Parallels on my mac so I could run GSAK :D
FInal note: Found the new thread hahah

I don't think there's been a post from a groundspeak developer, yet.
Hmmm wonder why?
