Turned on stats. Then turned them off.

I turned on stats on my site yesterday. I don't care about them particularly much, so I never bothered with them. As mentioned many, many times before, this site is for me, blah, blah, blah.

Well, it was an eye-opener.

Every ten minutes, the IP address 64.56.206.254 hits my RSS feed.

Every. Ten. Minutes.

64.56.206.1 is squaretrade, but the block maps to:

Eh. I have no idea who that IP address is from, but I assure you, I don't write enough on this site to ping the site every 10 minutes.

If that is your IP address and you're here to figure out why the feed stopped, I blocked your IP address. Pull it back to once an hour, and not between 3:10 and 7:00am (because clearly I don't post at that time of the day), and I'll unblock your IP.

I turned the stats back off. I still care little about them.
