I don't even let my NWN Druid use TAUNT, I certainly don't want Apache dancing 
around in full headress. I'm not that Brave.. The nsiislog is in fact a LOG. 
The file IS relavent. THAT is my reasoning. One thing is for sure with 
regards to an index in /sumthin/, they will not get a 404. They will get a 
directory listing if I chose, but It all depends on relavence.

I can't say for sure who or what GET's /sumthin/, but I believe it is a mode 
that caught-on through the years and was adopted by different folks. I highly 
doubt I would be the first in history to create that directory, and I haven't 
yet. BUT,

If it's banners ye seek, banners ye GET.
