	Absolutely! the only way to prevent people going to websites 
that don't help you for your stuff is to put it out there yourself and 
better. It's usually pretty possible since they won't only be doing it 
to you so your site automatically looks most relevant to you alone. Or, 
in a musical analogy, if the bastards are drowning you out, TURN IT UP 
:-) Yours,
