I'm confused. I'm seeing visits from

209.73.162.171
trek18.sv.av.com

But I'm getting the UA as Scooter-W3-1.0, which is an AV spider, yes? Is this normal?

[TallTroll]

OK, found a partial answer here [research.compaq.com]

Mercator has been transferred to AltaVista, and is part of AltaVista Search Engine 3.

But that still doesn't explain the UA. Or am I missing something?

[Travoli]

"Scooter-W3-1.0" is a normal AV spider as far as I know, visits us all the time.
