Each time I check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Ipblocklist I'm on top with a 24 hour forward expiration.

I've unblocked you. It seems as if blocks are not expiring properly. I assume this has something to do with the new media wiki software. Will somebody in the know please fix this. In the meantime will all admins keep an eye on the list of blocked IP's and manually unblock all blocks whose time has expired.
24 hours are added on to the sentence each time the same IP address is used to access Wikipedia, even innocently.
Access, or edit? Those are blocks against *editing*.
(The developers are aware of this one, btw.)
