Indeed - that remark left me rather baffled as well.
Totally senseless to post something as brief, and not to the point as that.

But, we shall forgive him just this once - lol - it is his first post afterall. Perhaps he was just testing his keyboard.

Disallow: /cgi-bin/
Disallow: /tmp/
Disallow: /forums/postings.php


in a .txt file called robots and upload it to your www(ht docs) folder.

Remember to change the address's above to the files/folders you don't want searched.
