Stupid bots! Why me I mean really?

I've recently added some additional "protection" to my site that I didn't think I'd need, spam control being one. I've come to the point that I've blocked acces to the following user agent:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)

While it's possible that some people may access the site having that user agent I think the limitation FAR out weighs the impact aginst users.

So if your blocked form the site, oh well. Of course if your blocked from the site, your not going to be able to read this because well your blocked, again OH WELL that TFB.

Infoworld:
23. There is no such thing as a dumb question, so ask it ... once. Then write down the answer so that you don't have to ask it again. If you ask the same person the same question more than twice, you're an idiot (in their eyes).
