It is amazing how difficult it is to get a straightforward yes or no answer from WP people.
I agree. I recall asking you, a WP person, a yes or no question the other day and you gave me folderol. It was an easy one too, merely about how you yourself intended to release something. Instead of yes/no, what I got was attitude.
That is a stupid analogy. I specifically posted a ready-to-run stubby article here with the open statement that anyone who wants it can put it on Wikipedia. For no clear reason, a couple of people who don't seem to comprehend English kept insisting that I clarify a statement that any six year old could understood. There is a huge difference between that (where the answer was obvious to anyone who could read) and asking whether the IP is correct in his insistence that AdjustShift is a sock (which is far more complex, since there is no open answer).

You asked rather a harder question, one that doesn't admit of an easy answer. I see no reason to answer it here. I choose not to even say if anyone has or hasn't looked into it (although someone else may choose to, I shan't).
It seems peculiar for this IP to pull such a wild accusation out of thin air and stick it someone who, truth be told, has not been a disruptive force on Wikipedia. If the accusation was that AdjustShift was a Martian, I could ignore it. If it was that AdjustShift is co-starring in "Men of Israel 2: Studs of the Knesset", I could shrug it off. But this comes out of nowhere and there is reason for concern since AdjustShift specifically asked for IP block exemption for his account -- that smells.
This reminds me of half of Arbcom's blatant refusal to explain whether or not they already knew Law was The Undertow. I guess the power clique only investigates and harasses people they don't like and coddles their friends -- which may explain why Mr. Miller (the founder of our feast) is getting protected.
