A post from JaneDoh pointing out that since Wired appears to have gone ahead and completely deleted their robots.txt now, maybe they didn’t mean to be as drastic as they were originally, and actually don’t understand how something as basic as robots.txt works.

Well, I did email them yesterday saying I saw no reason why they needed to have it up -- that since I understood better about the moderation they were doing, I certainly wasn’t going to do a follow-up post saying "Wow, Wired still lets link credit flow by virtue of the pages getting indexed." I also saw no reason they should keep good pages out of the index. So no surprise to me that they went back to how things were before our initial post, and good for them.

Somewhere, a middle-manager is shaking his fist in anger..."Why? Why did you do this to me? You... you... SEOs!"
