How common is this??No shit?I did not know they were that sophisticated. Is it even possible for a bot to get around the email activation?Apparently not. it failed to register. At first i thought we were getting another Californian since the IP traced to Mountian View,Ca in Silicon Valley. but I did a little google search and found that that's the home of google.

They allow personal surfing.

They allow personal surfing.i doubt it. anyway, the googlebots will follow the links here as far as they can, and that includes login/register pages.

All it was doing was following its nose, as it's supposed to do. That makes a lot more sense.

Bots could probablymade, which can handle registration, soonenough. Language processing's gone a longway, recently.
