---- In the era of increasing numbers of bad bots is robots.txt irrelevant?

Well, this has been a good discussion.

But it begs the question, exactly what can a person do about "bad bots". How can a site owner cut off the bad bots while allowing the Googlebots/Slurps/MSN bots of the world through if Robots.Txt doesn't work?

A simple primer for people would be nice!
