(apologies for the slow reply, as I read nanog via the archives updated 
once/hour).

Of course we will honor requests to stop.

As Joe said, 400 packets in two hours is not very much traffic.  The end 
result of the measurements is improved service to people who use the 
Footprint service, which includes anyone  who downloads files from 
Microsoft or views their website (in other words, much of the internet, 
including people at bblabs.com).

I encourage anyone who wishes the requests to stop (with the possible 
consequence of reduced performance for their clients) to contact 
abuse () digisle net with your IP range.

Apologies for any inconvenience that the packets may have caused.  BBlabs 
/24 has been added to our exclude list.

You shouldn't have to.  But they don't seem to honor requests to stop.
