If it makes you feel better, www.pool.ntp.org is not alone :-)

The number of htpdate requests (80/tcp) is negligible on the lx.ujf.cas.cz ntpserver in comparison to the 37/tcp port requests. The port is open to serve computers which use the rdate command (~60000 requests a day). Similarly to the ntp, the number of misconfigured clients is quite large which makes us consider to close it.
