schestowitzI've looked at the logs. This format that a client chose for them is less verbose then some, so user-agent, for example, does not show up to indicate if a bot grabbed a lot of paged or perhaps a human did.  The B and C blocks of the IP addresses show some similarity and it seems possible that some misbehaving spider decided to go hard on the server.Dec 02 08:03

schestowitzIt helps to find other people who are like this because unlike the ultra-conformists/consumerists, it is them who are able to appreciate value -- not value as measured in dollar or pound signs. Frankly, knowing one's modus operandi is beneficial to the environment is a gift money cannot buy.Dec 02 15:13

schestowitzCompanies with particular goals use as excuse the money motive (e.g. it's "to maximise shareholders' value") to do things they would never /rationally/ do. Groupthink can lead to that too. The most difficult thing is to explain to people what companies and groups really are, not in superficial terms, and what their effect on their surroundings can be. I am not a PR person and I can be crude at times, more so from an academic Dec 02 15:13
schestowitzpoint of view where nothing is taken for granted. This can rub some people the wrong way, but they are usually not fence-sitters to begin with, in which case they are not a target audience, either.Dec 02 15:13

schestowitzThis whole mystcism BS is very armful and inffectisous. I'm finding myself having to bite my tongue too much when people spout out nonsense and the "right" thing to do is just go "yes, ... yes... ok... interesting". Had charlatans and liars not spread their utter nonsense, there would be no self-censorship for those who use reason. /endrandDec 02 23:49
