Damn, I didn't know you could do that.  I tested it on one of my own pages
to see how it -should- work.  And it does.  (Where's that documented, any
idea?)  One wonders how the page got into Google in the first place,
though, if it's not crawlable..

The real question is, "Then what the -frak- good does that page do, and why
was Ken stating it as if it should be obvious?"  I initially felt a little
sheepish, if not like an outright dolt for not knowing about the page in
question.  Now...no, not at all.

I'm sorry, you know...I don't mind being proven wrong, having to admit I'm
wrong, whatever.  I'm a big boy, I can take it.  But being made to feel
like I've overlooked the obvious or just plain been lazy and not looked
when evidence exists to the contrary and shows there is -no way in hell- I
could have found it on my own after any amount of spidering their site...
Well I find that a little rude.

Possibly the first and only rude thing I've ever seen Ken do, and it may
not even have been intentional, so I'll let it go at that.  It's not like
I've never been rude to anyone.  :) :(  

I do find it frustrating, if not rude.

Thanks, Jay.

Most people think the defining traits of human beings are intelligence,
speech, writing, or creativity.  The sad reality is that the most singular
defining quality of humanity is cruelty.  No other species appears to be so
able and willing to inflict pain on its brethren for no logical reason.
