Trademark crawler
I'm sure this serves some legitimate purpose.. but it just appears so slimey..
NameProtect engages in crawling activity in search of a wide range of brand and other intellectual property violations that may be of interest to our clients.
Found crawling my site.. It does appear to respect robots.txt so in it goes before someone decides to sue me over using their name.

Don't worry, you will always be the original UNIX girl, even if AT&T decides to sue...

A quick heads up from a fellow Gnomie :).
Seeing as you're on an Apache web server, you could use some of the resources I collected on my blog to block it - it'll just get a 403 every time it requests a page. It'll also stop those email harvesting bots too.
Nice site, btw.

I got that thing on my site and blocked it also.
Just a waste of good bandwidth
