Oh, totally agree with ya. Am fed up with all the damned bots and web crawlers that seem to have sprouted up a million times over the past few years, :-( Seems that the internet is getting more an more overcrowded and slower than ever. Not to mention all the adverts, spam, junk, virii, etc, that are polluting everything, :-( Sux.
Oh an in ref to Interclue, I've got it disabled for this site and the sites not moaned once since, so anyone who has anything that preloads webpages (or links) or anything like that should disable it for this site. That way you shouldn't get any of those messages about bad ips an stuff, :-)
