Weird Referer

Date: 16th, Nov 2003 11:40 am
Referer: XXXX:+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++...
Entry Page: /detail.php...
Browser: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
IP Address:cpc1-cmbg3-3-0-cust9.cmbg.cable.ntl.com

Why would the above visitor have a referer as XXXX:++++++++ ?? anyone know why that is?

Also I've noticed my site is being spider by Yahoo!'s new product engine but it identifies itself as IE5.5 as below:

Browser: YahooSeeker/1.0 (compatible; Mozilla 4.0; MSIE 5.5; http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/shop/merchant/)
IP Address:yj1002.inktomisearch.com

For those who wish to ensure SESSION ids are removed for bots/spiders and logs only contain humans (assuming you have set up your own tracking system), you should be aware of this bot 'pretending' to be a human... apparently this is Yahoo!s answer to Froogle which might suggest that Yahoo will be parting company with Google.... perhaps.
