I'm going to check logs to see if I can spot anything, but I hadn't noticed anything to date
Well Yahoo is more of a problem here. If I ever catch some of their "engineers" they are going to get a major LART. I've been considering banning Yahoo as a waste of bandwidth.

I took Cuil off the banned list for a while to see how it fares. So far it hasn't overloaded the server. However this reply from one of Cuil's engineers is very worrying:
How CUIL Lost Me as a Customer Long Before They Launched : My Code is Compiling

If someone used that "experimental spider" excuse on me, I'd use my experimental shotgun excuse.

Hard to think that Irish Blogger/Sunday Times columnist Sarah Carey was "strategic advisor" to the CEO.
