since our relationship is with the sponsor, we aren't asking webmasters for anything, therefore not asking for any trust type offering.
should be choose to go down some kind of conspiracy-theory idea, then lee and i will approach that when it comes.
there are countless number of spiders that crawl through websites. robot.txt is not the way to stop them. you can't complain to them about not visiting your site and indexing your site, and doing who knows what with the data gleemed.
in this forum, we have identified ourselves as being another spider that visits the site.
if one is paranoid at what we or other people may do with data gathered from visiting a website, then my suggestion is this:
-don't rent videos from blockbuster, they know you rented Glitter.
-don't use tivo, they know you record Hard Ball
=don't use digital cable, they know you channel surf to Cartoon Network and watch PowerPuff Girls
-don't use a grocery shopping card that gives you instant savings, they are tracking your consumption of pudding
-don't use a credit card, they know about the blow-up doll you purchased with the lifelike hair and the school girl outfit.
-don't turn on cookies in your web browser, they know you visited DrSpock.com and you don't even have a kid.
-don't answer the phone, the homeland security has all calls bugged, running them through a monster of a sniffy program that analyzes audio and will know you like to talk dirty on the phone.
-don't open your door, people will see that you hadn't showered in 5 days.
