Damn MSNbot!
![[Topic: Micosoft Borg]](http://www.trommetter.org/log/archives/topicms.gif "[Topic: Micosoft Borg]")
The msnbot is back. I thought I had banned it forever. I put the following lines in my robots.txt file:
User-agent: msnbot*
Disallow: *
And I even banned the IP address it seems to be coming from in my .htaccess file:
deny from 65.54.164.
What else can I do? It's hogging up my bandwidth and I don't care to be in Microsoft's directory. The majority of the world uses Google and people can find trommetter.com that way.
