I think you have not interpreted the situation accurately.

You are looking at it from the point of vilew of someone who abides
by established norms, norms which are quite obviously *not* being
respected.

Ignoring the 404's is *not* an acccident, it is *by design*.
A1* warfare of sorts.
ie: a customs cavity search but on your server.

"I think your 404 reply to my poking is not 'really' a 404.
I also think you are actually hiding something from me.
So I ask again: where is the data?"

> ... how is that any sort of sane response ...
It is not a sane response.
It is a direct attack on your server.
Nothinh less than that.

A such it should be deal with in the same manner.

* I have adopted (cannot recall where I saw it) A1 as a name for this
crap: there is no *intelligence* in all this, just numbers.

Best,
