That's terrible. That's how I start my day, open each item in a new tab - never an entire page enough. I'm not sure if I can reset my IP. I would hope they might consider a white list to sign up for or something. Maybe set a more human limit like a dozen or two before blocking, and/or block for only 6 or 12 hours just in case, and/or keep intensifying the blocking with regularity because humans will learn the limits and generally abide within them.

EDIT: I read later down that M7 anticipated this.
