[tor-relays] First Tech CU apparently blocking all Tor nodes

It appears that First Tech Federal Credit Union is blocking all Tor
nodes (including non-exit nodes) from connecting to their website,
http://www.firsttechfed.com 

This seems ... misguided on their part. Blocking exit nodes is one
thing, but preventing random people who happen to run a Tor middle node
from seeing anything on their website is rather over the top.

They do not appear to be listed on
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/doc/ListOfServicesBlockingTor yet. If other people also observe the blocking, they should probably be added.

I wanted to check with the list to make sure it is not just me, and get
suggestions about the best way to approach First Tech and encourage them
to re-consider this overly broad blocking.
