Four months just seems excessive. I thought there was a maximum length
for blocks on IP's that are shared, like by public libraries and schools.
You assume we're omniscient. We're not. There's no way for us to know
whether any given IP is used by a single user or by an entire state.
You're the first person who's informed us of this.
He is not assuming that. He is assuming that you have done your homework.

If that is to hard for you, I suggest you leave the whole blocking
business to someone else.
