Tell me about it!

Some people are hitting http://microformats.org/feed/ every twenty  
minutes! And we post once a week, at most!

If that's you (and I'm talking to you,  
c-24-16-10-68.hsd1.wa.comcast.net), stop it!

:-D -ryan

PS - as a sidenote, a lot of people were getting 302's when hitting  
www.microformats.org, where they should have been 301's. Sorry if any  
of you have had problems with that, it should be fixed now.
