Web Poison (Anti-Spam Measure)

This is the ASP version of a CGI technique used to scare off spammers (or at least to make things harder for them) that use email extractors to collect addresses from web sites. The script generates a random number of fake Email addresses and URLs that call itself in an endless loop. The result: email extractors get clogged with fake addresses. A META tag tells search engine robots not to index the page. To use just rename the file to anything you want (example: test.asp) and put a hidden link to it on your site, like this: [A HREF="wpoison.asp"][/A] (replace [] with <> respectively). Please help spread the word about web poisoning, it might not stop spammers, but will surely slow them down!
