        Nope, it wasn't. It's showing up across several of my virtual sites
    now, none of them being a blog nor running any CMS or other blog
    software. Not that it bothers me or anything, but I found it
    interesting to be coming from several different IP addresses (from
    totally different networks.) That's why I was wondering if it's a virus
    that's infecting people and then try to drum up business for the web
    site in the referrer line or if they have some sort of distributed
    network that's spamming everything they can find.
