    Nope, it wasn't.  It's showing up across several of my virtual sites 
now, none of them being a blog nor running any CMS or other blog 
software.  Not that it bothers me or anything, but I found it 
interesting to be coming from several different IP addresses (from 
totally different networks.)  That's why I was wondering if it's a virus 
that's infecting people and then try to drum up business for the web 
site in the referrer line or if they have some sort of distributed 
network that's spamming everything they can find.
