It's only this one page I don't want indexed. The site this is on has historically been in the top 5 or so on Google and Yahoo for the last two or three years. > I already have implemented some protection about this: the address coded > in the mailto: is encrypted, Yes, I have measures set up to protect "real" email addresses on most of my sites. From a wPoision description: "It is important to note that when Wpoison is generating its randomized bogus e-mail addresses (and also its randomized pseudo-hyper-links) it uses an algorithm which makes the total number of different bogus e-mail addresses and pseudo-hyper-links essentially unlimited. In effect, Wpoison is capable of generating an infinite number of different bogus E-mail addresses! So the basic idea behind Wpoison is to trap unwary and badly engineered address harvesting web crawlers, and to fool them into adding enormous quantities of completely bogus e-mail addresses to the E-mail address data bases of the spammers, thus polluting those data bases so badly that they become essentially useless, thereby putting the spammers who are using them out of business, or at least shutting them down for a time and causing them some major headaches while they try to clean up the messes in their now-heavily-polluted e-mail address data bases." Here's what it looks like if you load it in a browser (warning, will take a few seconds to load) http://www.columbiacityjazz.com/myEmailList.cfm But the mainpoint here is, I hate spammers and I don't mind devoting a little time to give them as much trouble as I can. Besides, if I'm not alowed to have at least a little bit of evil fun, I'd go crazy. ----------- Les Mizzell ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
