One more thing:

If I add the following to /robots.txt

User-agent: YahooFeedSeeker
Disallow: /

It'll prevent yahoo to access the site. See my access_log (hopefully
it doesn't wrap much)

66.218.65.53 - - [09/Jun/2005:09:38:44 -0700] "GET /rss2?
id=129387129387192837198237 HTTP/1.0" 200 812 "-
" "YahooFeedSeeker/1.0 (compatible; Mozilla 4.0; MSIE 5.5;
http://my.yahoo.com/s/publishers.html; excluded by line 2
of /robots.txt)"


But this also doesn't allow adding RSS feed to my yahoo nicely.
Their web page prints and error about exclusion as well.
