Hey, if you're a Spectrum customer in Florida and you have been downloading my "Federated Social Networks" help file every few seconds for days and days, could you stop doing that please?

Just thought I'd ask before I block your IP address, in case it's an accident.

I've grabbed a stack of them to distribute among my family and associates.

@A.min Maybe I should copy it to CDs and mail them out.

Ah, I have misread my server log. My article was the referring URL. The GET items are all for /ping or /fastping, and return just a few bytes.

So this just means somebody has my article open in a tab, and their browser is pinging my server.

Good, I don't have to block anyone.
