[ale] Silly browser strings

[William Bagwell]

Potentially amusing little distraction from the monthly Vi verses Emacs 
thread for those who need one.

Registered a domain name over a year ago (unrelated to Linux.) and had to 
settle for my second choice at the time because my first pick was taken. 
Unavailable, but no actual site so I assumed squatters... Last week I was 
registering a name for something else and thought to check again for my 
first choice from back then. Success! Set up a tiny welcome page and 
started monitoring.

Someone, (or some bot?) apparently had a PHPBB2 message board up for 
awhile because I'm seeing quite a bit of traffic looking for it. Most 
amusing so far were 11 hits, from 11 different IPs, in a three minute 
period and all 11 claiming to be Win 98. 
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Update a; AOL 6.0; Windows 98)"

Wayback machine never indexed the site, so I have no clue what was once 
there. Somehow I do not believe it was an antique computer club, but who 
knows;-)
