Dear bozo at Harvard: Please turn off your bot

Someone with Harvard's eecs group learned how to download the rome client today and, oh joy, ran it against my site. Again, and again. Still running as far as I can tell. It's attempted to fetch feeds off the site slightly over 700 times since mid-afternoon. Most of the requests are being redirected, using 301's, to feedburner.com, but it's still annoying. If you get a 301 redirect from a web server, it means GO AWAY, find the document over here. It doesn't mean Hey, why don't you check back here in, oh, ten seconds.

So, just because I'm a jerk about these things, the Rome user agent joins the list of user agents blocked from the site.

§

The addresses:

Count	hostname	IP
311	sb03.eecs.harvard.edu	[140.247.62.88]
304	sb06.eecs.harvard.edu	[140.247.62.203]
110	sb04.eecs.harvard.edu	[140.247.62.91]

I don't know, nor care, whether the problem is with the Rome code or the person who's running the user agent. It's just stupid to fire off a bot and walk away without checking to see if it's operating correctly (I'm guessing that I'm not the only site getting hit by this).
