Nice work Aaron, this will be a great help to people not usually used to using robots.txt.
The generator in particular is user friendly and helpful.

Thanks.

This post and the http://tools.seobook.com/robots-txt/ post are excellent - succinct and cover some very helpful elements.

Thanks Aaron.

Nice tool Aaron.

I thought our robots would pass your analyser and I was embarrased to find some faults! So thanks!
