another spammer (ohooahaasusu) and his posts gone and gone.
can someone explain (perhaps again) why there are always more Spiders online than registered and Guests combined? (I think we've establish *what they are, but why are they always present in such numbers?)

So the ohoo....person was a spammer. Thai, was it? Wonder what it said. If I had known Thai I might have babelfished or googletranslated.

The link that was his signature was a link to an on-line gambling site.

This person also registered the name ilikethat2499 so I suppose we should be on the lookout for similar posts.

Like 'invisibles' are subscribed invisables, these can be subscribed ànd unsubscribed invisables reading from an unlogged position.

The link that was his signature was a link to an on-line gambling site. I saw that when I used the quote from the post. The signature took up 1/2 page so I edited it out. I should have recognised that it was spam Bran... people who don't sign in are 'guests'. I want to know what spiders are too.

My understanding is that spiders are bots sent out by search engines looking for things that are going to be searched for. So, if you google, say, wordsmith candy pleonasm the search engine will have already figured out where to go looking for those strings.

Oohaahaasusu - I do not know what it means in Thai but in India across the subcontinent the last bit of the word "susu" means - well YCLIU... It is an onomatopoeic word. On the whole the name suggests great relief at taking a pee.
