No resolution....I made a page with a special URL for Ronald to try hitting so I could see his browser's User-Agent, but I haven't heard anything back yet. Ronald, if you get a chance, please email me.
The User-Agent is the only criteria that is used by our Apache config to display that spambot page, so it's really odd that it would come up for any standard browser.
