Hey Chris! I'd just put it back to the default, http://www.syndirella.net/. It'd cut down on the proliferation of false referrers.

Thanks Keith...I went with http://www.hardhathosting.com/thanks.html suggested by http://kalsey.com/2003/01/referral_abuse/ . We'll see.

(First: I'm not really defending the current abuse, it only seems that way) :-) I think the "great" IE example is flawed. RSS readers should be different because they are actually trying to do something different. The whole referer-overloading thing was an attempt to create a more two-way web and give readers a way to "leave a trail". IE doesn't even try to give any feedback about who is reading a resource.

Hey, that's me. Sorry about the 48 referrals a day from HardHatHosting.com. I use Syndirella and it updates every hour. I happened to put one of my company's websites in the referral setting. I never thought of the implications of Syndirella hitting your logs all day long. What would you suggest I use instead?
