Wow. Google really does want to rule the world.

[Cringer]

fromt he googlebot site...

7. Why isn't Googlebot obeying my robots.txt file?

To save bandwidth, Googlebot only downloads the robots.txt file once a day or whenever we've fetched many pages from the server. So, it may take a while for Googlebot to learn of changes to your robots.txt file. Also, Googlebot is distributed on several machines. Each of these keeps its own record of your robots.txt file.



Yeah, must mean saves their bandwidth, cause it doesn't save mine

I like Inktomi Slurp, can we keep her?

This is getting ridicilous.. Either the robots.txt isn't working or google has gone berserk.. and what's that crap about google hitting a site once every few seconds? Sounds like a DOS-attack to me.. :P from a "legitimate" source?

17 guests? bah..
