You cannot be sure of anything, Mr. Lyndon. You don't have all the facts. [[ many many useless lines of pathalias output deleted ]] Since the topic here is abuse of MBAS, the question now becomes, are any of those sites you listed paths to an MBAS? Is MY site an MBAS? If not, then why are you concerned about MBAS traffic passing through lsuc from or to me when that, according to your own pathalias list, is not possible? You have just proven for us all that my use of MBAS has no effect on lsuc.
