p.s. the snippet is free for sure, and could be easily found on google.
I sent a PM with a link to exactly that to aom3 yesterday.

I just honestly truly dislike the idea of blocking ability to link for the sake of bot prevention.

It's sensoriship with all the negative externalities that that brings. And it also makes newbies feel unwelcome.

There's enough complaining that goes around with regards to "advantages" of seniority status here.
No need to add oil to fire, as they say.
