RE: Watchfire effectively kills free Bobby

This is a "feature" of Bobby and has been around long before Watchfire was
involved. I had exactly the same reaction when I was using Bobby at a
training class a month ago. I wrote to Bobby staff (Michael Cooper) and was
told that they have always had this code in Bobby on line to keep folks from
writing scripts that would generate thousands of requests in short periods
of time. We triggered it because a class of 15 was simultaneously accessing
Bobby online. Anyway, don't blame it on Watchfire!

Too many requests: Bobby can only be used a limited number of times each
hour.

It was only a matter of time, I saw this coming as soon as they took over.
