Yeah guys I didn't know either but Antus explained it to me. It is Google indexing us so when people search Google for "bellett" we end up being one of the sites that gets found!

Apparently we may also see Yahoo[bot] as well but I'm yet to see that one....

So yeah, Google shows up as a user when we're looking at the forum and the forum program is smart enough to know what it is.

If I've explained this wrong I'm sure Antus will get it right, but I wanted to explain it without getting too technical (coz I can't!).

Cheers,

Dave
