| 
| It tells the Search Engine robots to index that web page, but 
| not to follow
| the links on the page to other web pages.
| ========================
| 
| It is also worth noting that the meta tag is a "request". There is no
| obligation of any kind for a search engine to follow that request.

But, Malcom, if you, by chance, are building a robot spider, please
graciously take note: not to follow the <meta> cues and follow the links
(you follow?) is considered, generally, A Bad Thing. (Run Away, Run Away!!!)
