Ironically, the two sites that had massive bandwidth usage recently, seem to not have the above issue with indexed parameters.
A point of note, is that I found the following in robots.txt to b…

I've had the search engines totally ignore directives for years! Google in particular loves adding query strings. Webmaster Tools be damned.

Great to see a fully textual menu system: takes me back to one I created some 30 years ago. :)

First stumbling block..
1. Due to shite antiquated Ubuntu Server text install, it's not possible to set the FQDN
