Re: [Re: UPDATE: Single user attached for long periods]

Hi!
   I'm wondering if perhaps they don't have an application called Alive, =
or
something similar that pings several sites at random or periodic interval=
s to
keep their connection alive.  In which case, it's okay to block their IP
address.
