Just ask baddog. Oh, wait, scratch that, he doesn't even know this.
Funny thing is, I could have written that myself, and it would have come out the same way. Get the fuck out of my head.

I'll take it one step further, though: I have yet to see concrete evidence that Google does anything beyond simply logging the IPs and Class C's, at least for SERP purposes. Having worked there, I have a lot of people I'm still in touch with. Unfortunately, it's all cloak and dagger as fuck, but when I was considering SEO hosting, they were like "uh, no."
