Hi robots.txt fan, I just wondered what happened if I removed robots.txt from my server, to reduce the whole discussion to absurdity. :) Best regards, ToBeFree On Thu, Jun 22, 2017, 13:08 Kristian Fiskerstrand < kristian.fiskerstr...@sumptuouscapital.com> wrote: > On 06/22/2017 10:40 AM,

Hello again, m, thank you very much for installing the file to your server! Paul, thank you for your kind words. Robert, this is not a lost cause, but instead a fixable problem. Condolences are not required, but a solution is. This solution can only come from admins like m. I have now come
