Slurp Spider is the name given to Yahoo's web crawling search engine spider - it wanders around the same way Googlebot does, reading websites. No idea how it managed to access the page of a member composing a pm. the contents of that pm could well end up on Yahoo! :D

some people just dont take it very well. They come on here thinking they can mouth off about whatever they like, abusing the regular members etc without any recourse.
