I like it, I would like it even more if Linus and Luke could get rid of the spambots :P

There is a fine line between one's you need and their situation may be different because of the amount of traffic they get. This is more to stop specific sites crawling the site all the time and isn't for spam posters however I suppose it could apply to a certain extend. But that's for another discussion!
