Additionally, it seems like both yelp.com and retailmenot.com block the whole 173.230.144.0/20 from their web-sites, returning some graphical "403 Forbidden" pages instead.
Although I have knowledge of either of those sites, I'd put money on the fact they they simply got sick of the repeated site scraping or similar activity from Linode and blocked the entire range. I've spoken to many other sites that have done exactly this, with a fairly clear inverse relation between the cost of the hosting provider and the likelihood of such behavioral (with Linode and Hetzner pretty much being at the top of that list) Scott.
