That was the main reason I posted the link to the page and it was the first thing I actually created for myself after reading the article.

Sorry didnt mean it to sound in a bad way at all.

I would guess most who post here do that more than once

The link was very useful and thanks for posting it.
I can verify the the bot-trap dir and blacklist.dat file works quite nicely. I have yet to implement the full function of the blacklist.dat for blocking to vb tho. Im not sure of the best way to do this. perhaps a simple include hook in global_start would work ?
