The many joys of a hotlinking dickwad

Ok so i'm going over my logs, and I notice a 'large' amount of requests coming from a site I don't own, trade of even know about.

8973 0.04% http://www.<protected>.com

So I check out the guys site, and it turns out he's hotlinking my FPA banner for fastsize, iframe code and all... except he took out my webmaster referral code. So me being the friendly guy I am, politely ask the guy to stop hotlinking my site.

I get a response in broken English, I can't be sure, but I believe it involved *******, and an eel bukakke.

So, after 2 minutes of changed the linking codes on my site, I replace the file the guy decided to hotlink, with a frame-buster script, and meta-refresh tag.

I will now have 3-4k/day extra targetted AEN traffic to my AEN site thanks to Mr. Asshole.

So anyone who finds a hotlinker, and they just decide to iframe a certain html page of yours, please feel free to insert a frame-buster script and redirect them to *******, or dialer heaven, whatever makes you feel better.
