That works

But, I don't even want to waste the PHP processing power to give them a reason. They aren't worth a nanosecond of PHP time to me. Let the server itself and firewall handle them and hang their system waiting for a reply from my server until their end times out with an error that the web site can't be found.

To date.. zero spam on my site. (now watch me get hammered)
