Good question. Sometimes I see one of them “Bots� by my name. Sometimes it is a Google[Bot] sometimes it is a Yahoo[Bot] it is causing me to have a cyborg identity crisis, what kind of a Bot am I?

The bots group detects known bots like googlebot and will serve a slightly different page to them. For example they won't see login, profile or group links. Pretty much content that they really have no need for anyway. Nothing to worry about.
