All this does is help Google. Not neccessarily a bad thing but does not address the problem.

Hi Dave,

I hope you realize though, that I am defending the practice of IP blocking.

Therefore, my point is that Google should give us tools to tell them where NOT to show our sites and then our IP blocking won't affect the quality of their SERPs.

So, hopefully you can see that it does actually address the problem.
Thanks.
