200 codes are the normal successful request code. And GET requests are 
the normal kind of request. If you filtered out GET you would lose almost 
everything.

Apache does not normally do the things you describe happening. Apache is 
very configurable, and can be configured to do what you describe, but 
that is not the default configuration. You must have something wrong with 
your Apache configuration. You should go to an Apache support group and 
ask them about these issues.

As I said before, you need agent information in your log files in order 
to be able to filter robots. Apache is capable of logging agent 
information. You should ask your server vendor how to switch your log 
format to NCSA Combined format, which is the standard log format for use 
with Apache these days and includes the agent information.

as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
