It did make mainstream sites linke the BBC:

No it didn't. If you read that link carefully, you will find _no_
reference to lynx. Do not misrepresent the facts, people will become
confused.
The article mentioned above (and cited previously) merely talks about
some one who "attempted" to "hack" a BT site. This has nothing to do
with user agent strings.
