I have seen it said - with what level of truth I know not - that there
is misbehaved scraper malware out there that pretends to be lynx. If
this is true, then I suspect that a connection claiming to be lynx is
statistically more likely to be malware than a real user. :-(
Obviously, the fix is to get more people using lynx! :-)
