Er, well, two things apply here. One, if the desired security goal is "make this entry unindexable by spiders", then that's what the security should *say*. I don't know if that's what Chasy is going for or not, since they haven't yet chimed back in. Second, I *believe *(although I do not know for an absolute certainty) that one can, in fact, create this level of security by flagging one's content for adult concepts or adult content, on the theory that spiders don't agree to view adult content and get a cookie. --zvi P.S. If a person feels that a natural language solution of five centuries' standing is beneath their prescriptivist's dignity, they may investigate the invented pronouns, such as zie.<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zie#Invented_pronouns>I invariably find that if I want to use such a pronoun, I have to google it to find its declension, but I'm generally able to recognize its use by others with little difficulty. 'They', of course, I use with the naturalness of a native speaker. All English speakers are used to the ambiguity of using the same pronoun/verb forms to indicate singular or plural, as all English speakers use 'you.' (Well, I shouldn't say all. I myself have been known to use both "y'all" and "you guys". But the use of singular you is well-established in most standard written Englishes.) And that is the last I shall say on the subject.
