Looking nostalgically over my block log, I discovered an unfamiliar blocker with no user or talk page, User2004. On closer examination, it turns out to be another incarnation of Willmcw. Could this be more blowback from Daniel's HiveMind pages?

Whoa. This is, in fact, the long lost edit history of Willmcw which I have been trying to find, and which I thought was deleted. He changed the username of his old account to hide his edit history. Thanks for digging this up!

And now a mysterious new account appears, Will Beback NS. I wonder what the "NS" signifies?

Nova Scotia? Nelson Slamdella? Nun Shucks? Nouveau Sox? Ned Stark?

"Not safe" probably, for public computers. I've seen some admins use this.

Cute.

Looks like unregistered posting is only open on this one thread, for some reason. Weird. Anyone around that can edit it before it becomes a free for all ala 4chan?

Would that be Tony Sideaway?

For some reason, this particular thread seems to be vulnerable to unregistered posters, so I'll lock it until we get to the bottom of it.

It's not the thread - it was the (new) Will Beback subforum itself. Whoever created it accidentally checked "Allow Reply to Topics" in the "Guest" column. Fixed now, of course...

At least we know that Tony reads the site now! Hi, Tony!
