Somebody recently misunderstood the behaviour of Yahoo search results and accused us of a faux pas. He claimed (incorrectly, of course) that we must have engaged in link spamming, because a search for his name also produced a result from our site. Cha! We don't even do search engine submissions on our site, let alone link-spamming!

I was puzzled, and asked for evidence of our crime, and to his credit, Roger published a retraction. But then it occurred to me ... faux pas ... the clue is in the language ...

So since then, I have been questioning les lapins to establish whether they are secretly working for spammers. I am glad to confirm they are not. Whilst hanging upside down, they muttered something about a long tradition of liberty and their role in providing the intellectual underpinnings of American democracy, but I was having none of it.

They should be OK in a few days.
