Understood.

Thank you to Mark for indicating that GeoIP and bits are on same IP.  Will
worry about differentiating the two on my end (obviously).

Thanks, Ryan, for the info on the use of GeoIP.

My motivation for blocking was simply seeing this new (to me, at least) use of
GeoIP, without any explanation of what it's for.  With the new inclusion of
GeoIP functionality in Mozilla browsers, I simply wasn't sure what I as a user
was getting, and defaulted to blocking it.

I'll look around, but as I didn't yet find any coverage in the Tech Village
Pump nor Bugzilla, is there any possibility of writing up a short overview of
all the tech used on wikipedia/wikimedia, to allay these kinds of worries?  If
there isn't one, perhaps we can add one to the wikipedia article on wikipedia?

Thanks for the info and help everybody.
