It's temporary. Because of the huge volume of responses (mostly for
free access), we have chosen to use a deny table for the largest
users while we get all of the allow entries made. This prevents our
backlog from cutting off folks that want to subscribe. As soon as we
get caught up, we will swap over from a deny table to an allow table.
That should be real soon now.
