Would the community find these types of entries helpful

The community might go off on a tangent and ask why you're serving up 302s instead of 301s ;)

"Ruby" alone is obviously a bogus UA-- or a very simple-minded robot-- but then you can look up the IP, and maybe you'll discover a hitherto unsuspected server farm in Belarus.

The chances that the offender comes from a block smaller than /24 -- meaning that you need the 4th part-- is too small to be worth bothering about. More likely it will turn out to be splat in the middle of a /13 from some country that you never liked anyway.
