# It's pretty simple, folks.
# 
# Most crawlers are welcome to traverse our site, so long as a few simple
# guidelines are observed:
#
#   * Adhere to the directives in this file.
#
#   * Don't pretend to be something you're not (e.g. Internet Explorer or
#     googlebot). Provide an accurate User-Agent string, including a url to a
#     page about the crawler.
#
#   * Moderation, please. With the exception of the home page, limit your
#     crawler to 1-2 hits per URL each day. 15000+ hits/day on 500 unique URL's
#     is pretty hard to miss, even when it comes from 50 unique IP's.
#
#   * No URL hacking. Excessive use of query string parameters is frowned upon
#     and will quickly catch our attention.
#
# We take these policies quite seriously. We employ certain automated measures
# to detect and neutralize abuse of our goodwill and bandwidth.
#
# Those who fail to comply are subject to the whims of our zany sysadmins.
# Depending on what sort of mood they are in, the penalties range from
# receiving inaccurate content or comical messages to being banned outright. 
# No one has been subjected to goatse just yet, but it hasn't been ruled out as
# a possibility.
#
# So play it safe. Go ahead and use your tools, just don't be one.
#
#
# If you have questions about these policies, or want to learn more about web
# services we offer (e.g. automatic product pricing feeds), please email
# webmaster@softwaremedia.com.
