Hot:

To my loyal readers – some housekeeping follows, you need not concern yourselves with this post.

It is rather off topic and certainly not interesting to the average Internet user.

Look guys – I thought we agreed, you go away and I back-off.

Pretending to be a Google Bot doesnt work when I shut the doors to Bots…..

DUH!

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

Google Bots don’t turn up every five minutes, nor do they go down specific paths to archive material in a haphazard fashion.

Guys, if you want to pretend to be a Bot, then walk the database, in a sequence. Any logical sequence to at least make it look like you’re not technically incompetent.

Bots don’t look like this….

And certainly, Google bots never in-addr-arpa reverse resolve into this….. (unannounced). Now you guys have me piqued and curious.

I wonder if I can find the connection between you and unannounced.

Wow that wasn’t hard – and it took me less than ten minutes.

So what’s on the end of that?

Fascinating.

Multiple countries, multiple redirects on name servers and advertising /20′s from two continents – an interesting trick if you want to remain mysterious and hidden.

Gentlemen, apart from the rather obvious Latvia & Mumbai connections, I congratulate you.

Now I remind you , we have a truce. That does not extend to you sneaking around pretending to be someone else.

Shall I keep digging and publishing or are you going to sign-up to an RSS feed and otherwise bugger off.

Again, as per my phone call last Friday, your choice.
