Please be aware that cmu.edu != lycos.com. We had our roots in
CMU (and you may note that some of us are stilling getting/sending
mail from there), but our operations are now almost entirely moved
over to the lycos.com domain. Those remaining are in the cs.cmu.edu
(computer science) subdomain, not cc.cmu.edu (computer club). Also,
our spiders have always clearly identified themselves with the
User-agent header.
