A follow-up to whizbang.com

I’m feeling perverse. They’ll never answer me, but I sent this to our friends at WhizBang! Labs:

Sirs:

I maintain an on-line diary at deardiary.net. One of the services deardiary provides is a hit meter that lets me know who has been visiting my diary, and how often. Over the past week, I have had had abnormally high daily average hits, due to host pixnat06.whizbang.com. This morning when I first visited my diary, the count of hits in the past 24 hour period was over 290. In the past week your search spider (assuming that is what it is) has hit my site 505 times.

Please explain why you are searching my diary so frequently, what information you are extracting from it, and to whom you are selling this information.

[my real name], VMD

I’m hoping that, if nothing else, the “VMD” will make them pay a little attention to the e-mail. Should I get a reply, I’ll share.
