Simon does this also block Facebook's scrapper? I am getting slammed by Facebook IP's and spiders:
facebookexternalhit/1.0 (+
http://www.facebook.com/externalhit_uatext.php)
facebookexternalhit/1.1 (+
http://www.facebook.com/externalhit_uatext.php)
I did it through htaccess but this blocks the ability for me to post any articles to facebook with a thumbnail.
