Flashes of Panic

Since Monday, it seems that MT-Blacklist has been refusing to allow one particular IP address (65.75.139.90, if you’re curious) to comment. It has refused it two hundred nine times, all for the same rule. (For what it’s worth, it has invoked that rule 214 times in this period.)

This raises all kinds of questions. Whose machine is that bored? How long will it take them to figure out that they need to change the comment to get around the rule? Are they even paying attention? How many other sites are they hitting?

Judging from my IP research, this is one of those cases when blocking the IP is probably appropriate, but I’m a little bit curious to see how long they can keep it up before they get a clue.
