The ip address is 206.158.58.161

I found it in my referrer logs.

Someone please explain what the heck this means?

Should I be paranoid or should I be paranoid?

Uh, a Sprint customer viewing material from something they saved to their desktop?

So, what's the dmoz connection? Could this be an editor who is tracking my web site for reasons unknown? Was it completely random that they named this page dmoz?

If anybody has any clues, thoughts, or theories please lay them on me.

Maybe they just 'renamed' what they had saved?

Dunno.

Do a search for 'dmoz2.html' on Google. I found 2 results. Maybe one of those links to your page (I found a link to a search engine page on the result from Russia). So someone probably saved the page to their desktop and klicked a link from there.

Good thinking.

But neither is my page.

No... That's a site in development that is very close to my heart.

I stretch myself too thin.

Maybe you come up #2 in the ODP on one of the categories or for a particular search and someone doing a bit of research has saved the top 6 or whatever to their desktop and named them accordingly.
