But they are. See the google-proxy example. That
was part of a of dozen or so GETs for one page. A
single visitor. I get a lot of those. All I'm saying is that
it's not realistic to block IPs when one visitor is showing
3 of them.

I'd still be interested if anyone has links about
the various methods of paywalling and their
popularity. So far the thread has only offered
educated guesses and hearsay.
