Also, if you do not want your pages catalogued by Alta Vista or any other
spider, just indicate it in the "robots.txt" file.
The biggest spiders are polite creatures, and they all respect the
"robot exclusion protocol".
Of course, there may be some Big Brother whose robots do not obey any
protocols, and collect all information about you into the databases
you do not see... In a democratic country (that is, one where the
population controls such things) it may only be done by a private
agency, and a private agency under democracy can't have much power.
(Or am I missing something?)
