does ANYBODY even know what bots.txt even DOES? bots.txt should look like this: accept all reject altaVista look at virussin.com/bots.txt to see what it SHOULD do... its for SEARCH EINGINES. the bot grabs it, looks at it, and it its on the white list of eingines, it caches the site, if its on the blacklist (reject), it sulks away into a corner...
