---- Why should I have a robots.txt file?

Well-behaved robots, including those from major search engines, will not fetch a page if it is Disallowed in a properly-formatted robots.txt file.

If they already have pages indexed or cached that have recently been disallowed in a revised robots.txt, then they won't remove those pages the SE's already indexed.

Quite a dilemma for webmasters.
