Subject: Your Data Transfer Status

Congratulations, your website seems to be very popular and has been receiving a large amount of traffic. Our records indicate that you’re using more than the allotted amount of data transfer we provide for a free web site, which is 3 gigabytes per month (measured on an hourly basis). That means that during the past few days we had to temporarily turn your site off to keep the bandwidth within this limit.

Other conversations are pretty similar. I should try downloading and building my own version of an Alicebot.

Microsoft first tries to block MSN access to non-IE browsers, and then surrenders. I still can’t access their photos section through Opera.
