NewsGator users - Please do not hog bandwidth

I would appreciate it if those of you who's monitoring my blog on a frequent basis to reduce the frequency of checking.

As of the present moment, I put out, at most, 2 to 3 articles every day, and I do not expect that to increase at any time. So, it is not necessary for you to monitor my blog every 2 minutes.

Kindly reduce the frequency of checking to perhaps once every 4 hours, or once a day.

Thank you.

    Robert, I doubt aggregators implement these two features as mentioned in the URL.

    FeedDemon minimizes blog server load by sending the HTTP IfModifiedSince request tag, and it also honors the <skiphours> and <skipdays> tags.

    How would implementing either skiphours or skipdays help?

    This guy is still monitoring my blog every 2 minutes, for any given hour.

    Besides, anything that I do with ttl, skiphours or skipdays will potentially affect every news aggregator (that supports / honours them) that's monitoring my site.

    I finally got irritated with this guy enough that I put in an IPSec policy to block the IP address, because IIS Directory Security would still log 720 counts of HTTP 403 every day.
