This is for those of you running webpages: psycheclone appears to be a fairly recent bot on the net (within the past month or so) that will follow every single link on your page (even unintelligently following javascript), trying to pick up e-mail addresses. You can use .htaccess to deny the ip range like this:

order allow,deny
deny from 208.66.195.
allow from all

But Domain Tools reveals the the IP address has been changing quite a bit. For the more daring, you might try a little PHP:

$svr=$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
if (stristr($svr,"psycheclone")==TRUE) {
header("Location: http://mccolo.com/english/");
}
