I will never understand where all this idiocy among humankind is coming from ...
it's the hate of centuries of unwelcome, burned, exploited and extinct lifes, I guess ...

But why do they always have to blame those for it who do rather not comply with the underlying system ...

apparently that url is a hack
(much like their journos, eh?
)
it's down to a security weakness in the way the indy creates "friendly" urls for article titles

It's not really an attack though is it? From an SEO perspective "it's a bug not a feature" as far as I'm concerned.
