Dear Yahoo.

Please use a real useragent.

If you're going to crawl my site, could you please use a 'real' user-agent?

Two of those don't reverse to Yahoo for me.

Could be just employees, and not their crawl infrastructure.

Whoops... we can discount the 210. and 59. ( so much for me proof-reading :) ).

I doubt it's an employee ( unless he/she is really bored ) since the same occurs on about 10 sites of mine, all using no UA for the past month now.
