He has been very helpful on other topics but very cagey on Panda..

Are they cagey because they use some strange (unacceptable) methods to crawl web pages? (Just thinking aloud here)

Have been hearing some strange crawl errors and stuff from a lot of people.Most of them could be found in WMT and in your log files.

One of the friends using a particular cache plugin for wordpress noticed strange errors in his logs - [wordpress.org...]

On further analyzing the log files for a few months, many such similar errors are in fact triggered by googlebot.
