This phrase was at the bottom of the Webpage for Patrick's Place (http://www.patrickkphillips.com/): Bad Behavior has blocked 1389 access attempts in the last 7 days.
What does this mean? What exactly is bad behaviour? It's a blog - when did free speech become bad behaviour? I'll have to check out the link part... now I'm curious. I need to know what that means. And what 1,389 attempts to be bad was...
Oh, look at this:
Welcome to a whole new way of keeping your blog, forum, guestbook, wiki or content management system free of link spam. Bad Behavior is a PHP-based solution for blocking link spam and the robots which deliver it.
Bad Behavior complements other link spam solutions by acting as a gatekeeper, preventing spammers from ever delivering their junk, and in many cases, from ever reading your site in the first place. This keeps your site’s load down, makes your site logs cleaner, and can help prevent denial of service conditions caused by spammers.

Bad Behavior also transcends other link spam solutions by working in a completely different, unique way. Instead of merely looking at the content of potential spam, Bad Behavior analyzes the delivery method as well as the software the spammer is using. In this way, Bad Behavior can stop spam attacks even when nobody has ever seen the particular spam before.

Now that is interesting. I had no idea one needs this service, but then again, Patrick's Place is a private site, not a service like my using Blogger. Blogger has settings that filter out the Spam and crap for you - I used to get those kind of responses and after weeding through the various services Blogger allows as options. I no longer get that. Works for me. But when I get www.aislinge.com up and running again, I may need that site.
I love learning new stuff.
