Lord of the Rings quotes:
"Behold, I am not Gandalf the Grey, whom you betrayed. I am Gandalf the White, who has returned from death. You have no colour now, and I cast you from the order and from the Council." - Gandalf to Saruman, The Two Towers
"Men of Gondor and Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Men fails... when we forsake our friends, and break all bonds of fellowship... but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when all hope comes crashing down, but it is NOT this day! This day, we fight! For all that you hold dear, stand, Men of the West! - Aragorn
"Far off yet is his doom, and not by the hand of man will he fall." - Glorfindel
"in Rivendell there live still some of his chief foes: the Elven-wise, lords of the Eldar from beyond the furthest seas. They do not fear the Ringwraiths, for those who have dwelt in the Blessed Realm live at once in both worlds, and against both the Seen and the Unseen they have great power." - Gandalf

Heh. They're spiders, yeah. They're run by their respective companies (i.e. msn.com is ran by MSN, yahoo.com is ran by Yahoo) and go through each page linked to add to their search index/database so that when you later go to their search engines (google.com; yahoo.com whatever) and type in search terms found on the page...you'll get linked to the pages spidered. That is the world's longest paragraph. |

I'm confused as to why they show up at all, rather than just being "guests." |
|
I haven't seen any of them , could you post an example? |

Look at the area where it shows users online and you should see yahoo.com without being under lined. |
