Just to not answer the question directly, I don't actually filter based
on organization, but on traffic and query pattern and volume. Geektools
plays at the high end of the scale and with reasonable monitoring, we've
got a feel for what their nominal volume is. Anything beyond that gets a
suspicious glance and a possible ban. To put it another (more precise)
way, Geektools isn't really on the exception list, but rather the "keep
a close eye on because they are good eggs" list.
