I'll change it to an intro post a little later today

I do not recall a single bot post in 2+ years. You can see it clearly on the homepage. From what I understand, bots just read code and text and can not identify what is contained in an image.

If you want a copy of the list of e-mail domains and IP addys that I have from another board, let me know.
