Yes, that's my address. :)

You think every 191 seconds is a lot? My grid sees one of these every 
few seconds:

...
11:33:34 - [Wifi]: DefaultRequest
11:33:37 - [Wifi]: DefaultRequest
11:33:40 - [Wifi]: DefaultRequest
11:33:44 - [Wifi]: DefaultRequest
11:33:48 - [Wifi]: DefaultRequest
11:33:52 - [Wifi]: DefaultRequest
11:33:55 - [Wifi]: DefaultRequest
11:34:07 - [Wifi]: DefaultRequest
11:34:14 - [Wifi]: DefaultRequest
11:34:16 - [Wifi]: DefaultRequest
11:34:23 - [Wifi]: DefaultRequest

I can't see who they're from, however. I'm guessing that was added since 
December 5th, which is the last time I updated my production grid (or 
maybe I need to set something, so the addresses show).

Given that my grid has a region that's a popular HG hub, and that many 
people have taken copies of the gate I have out, that's configured to 
bring them to my grid, I imagine that some of what I'm seeing are those 
gates checking to see that my grid is up. However, I think the majority 
of it (in addition to the ~80 gates to other grids) is likely to be the 
"roller-coaster" I have set up in that region ... I have 100 Blamgates, 
laying horizontally, up in the sky. There is a gate on the ground, that 
rezzes you just above the first of them, and you fall into it. Then it 
sends you to just above the next one, and so on, until you get to the 
last gate which puts you back where you started. It's quite a wild ride 
that lasts for about a minute. :) Anyway, all of them are of the "check 
the destination" type of gate, so I imagine I'm doing most of it to 
myself. :) Oh, if you ever want to try the roller-coaster, look for the 
gate labelled "101", in Eld2. :)

What might be nice is a simple way of turning off just this one message.
