1) The toner ad probably has all sorts of meta tags imbedded in it. Most of them would have little to do with toner.

2) When I'm idle and bored I go through old parts of the archive and remove posts that are non-birding or completely redundant (such as RFIs without answers, etc).


Good to see some rain about parts of Victoria this morning. Let's hope we are at the end of the bushfire danger for this summer.

I've noticed occasionally when I'm searching the archives that it's very common to have some ads for toner returned in the results, no matter what the search terms, e.g:
http://bioacoustics.cse.unsw.edu.au/archives/html/birding-aus/1998-08/msg01238.html

None of my search terms occur in that spam posting from 1998. Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening, and whether that whole spam thread can be removed from the archives?
