(apologies for the slow reply, as I read nanog via the archives updated
once/hour).
Of course we will honor requests to stop.
As Joe said, 400 packets in two hours is not very much traffic. The end
result of the measurements is improved service to people who use the
Footprint service, which includes anyone who downloads files from
Microsoft or views their website (in other words, much of the internet,
including people at bblabs.com).
I encourage anyone who wishes the requests to stop (with the possible
consequence of reduced performance for their clients) to contact
abuse@digisle.net with your IP range.
Apologies for any inconvenience that the packets may have caused. BBlabs
/24 has been added to our exclude list.

You shouldn't have to. But they don't seem to honor requests to stop.
