Re: blocking access to website?

FWIW, I get this regularly...

 Sorry, Unable to process request at this time -- error 999.

The rest of the message hints that it may be traffic from other users
on my ISP (uk/bt) - or virus (no indication of that watching ethernet
traffic) and not using open wireless network.

If it's any use...

- It seems to happen most often in the morning...
- Seems correlated with Firefox fetching the RSS popular feed in the
background (e.g. when switching on in the morning)
- Only happens when clicking on the "saved by x other people" links,
i.e. I can still post, look at and update my own bookmarks, just not
the social aspects of who else is interested in the same things
- I've tried being less 'aggressive' with my use, moving all my feeds
(bar the popular one) to google-reader, exploring much less than i
used to, but sometimes even looking at it seems enough to get the message
- If I use a proxy (e.g. at work) I can 'exercise' the system
thoroughly (clicking on every link possible as fast as possible, just
to see) and not get temporarily blocked, so it's kind of confusing
that a single pull of the rss feed should be enough to get blocked at
home (and only on the social side of the system, the "saved-by" links)

It's no showstopper, but losing the social aspects of social
bookmarking is a bit of a bummer ;)
