It's fine if you disagree. I can't force you to be correct.

Re: Google BOT
Google bots browse everything, unless the robots.txt for the site tells it not to. That's how things get indexed and searchable.

Re: Google BOT
There are multiple bots from various search engines around the world. Without them nobody would ever find this forum or most any websites by doing a simple search. You would have to know the exact URL of the website you wanted.

Interesting. I've never noticed it before. And considering the current climate I was skeptical.

I don’t think it does any more than the “guests” do.
I am not and have never been a LEO. My avatar is in honor of my friend, Dallas Police Sargent Michael Smith, who was murdered along with four other officers in Dallas on 7.7.2016.
