10-4 good buddy. +10 on this opinion if we are voting on it.

Stackexchange allowing this to occur when its a correctable problem, says 
to me that it may be retribution for not showing a commercial, yet I 
don't have any such filters installed. If FF refuses to play it, it is 
not my personal choice, but FF's.  But looking at my web page stats 
shows that FF is down to 2% of the visitors, googlebot and Safari are 
the top 2. googlebot, their indexing spider is at 51%. Why is googlebot 
so damned intersted in my web page? When I put that web page up it took 
me a while to put it is my sig, and I put it on an odd port so it 
wouldn't attract folks touring port 80 to see who they could hack next. 
Despite that attempt at obscurity, google had it indexed 3 hours later.

In any event stackexchange has managed to get some publicity, good or bad 
being immaterial, which is probably what they are after anyway, based on 
there being no such thing as bad publicity.  Well, there are a few 
failed bulbs in their marquee. IMO of course.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
