Yahoo! Slurp Spider

[blhowes]

Sometimes I follow the "Who's Online" link to see who's online (duh). Usually, you see the members listed, followed by the guests. Now, among the guests, are a bunch of "Yahoo! Slurp Spider" that are viewing the PB. Has the PB gone beyond the world wide web? Are these extra-terestrials? Who are these "Yahoo! Slurp Spider" folks, and are we in any kind of danger?

Previously "who's oneline" did not distinguish between people browsing PB and search engines (search engines "spider" websites to index them). Now, at least for these two (the only I've seen) it does.
