We’re being besieged by web crawlers again, trying to download every page at the site as quickly as possible, ignoring the rules in our robots.txt file, and generally being a huge pain in the posterior. They always seem to get active on weekends, probably counting on people to be less vigilant.

I think (Abbey Road is) the best engineered, best mastered rock and roll album ever produced...except that I take exception to stereo placement. -- From "Frank Zappa talks about Faves, Raves, and composers in their g raves" - some English publication, I think. (2 & 3 from the book, "The Lives and Times of Frank Zappa and the Mothers", some Brit thing again (got it at Blue Meanie Imports in San Diego fifteen years ago.)
