403 means go away

The most astonishing thing has happened in my ongoing struggle with the referrer spammers. I put a two-line entry in my htaccess file, and now all the referrer spammers are getting "403 - Forbidden" tags.

Admittedly it's not the same as getting them all shot through the spine, but it's something.

If you want to know the secret entry, email me, or visit Candy Genius, where I found it.
