SPIDERS in our midst...

[(X)]

I am not overly worried, but...

I thought I should at least give you a 'heads up' warning that this site (and probably all internet sites) are being "looked" at by spiders and crawlers the minute anything is posted.  (I have seen microsoft and amazon bot ip addresses as "guests" on this site also.)

Take home message:

"Don't think or feel that anything you do on the internet is not being logged somewhere by someone or something."
