Conclusion:

I don't for a minute think that Palabrazo [who made the request] is a curious bystander who just happened across this request. However, based on the standards I usually use, and pretending I don't know the history here, the evidence is sufficient to run a check. The answer is Inconclusive because one of these editors has only edited via open proxies. Thatcher 01:57, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Didn't Armed Blowfish get banned for edited via open proxies?

[Piperdown]

my insight into his mindset was looking at him talk to himself as LastExit/Mantanmoreland, forgettig to change a login from TomStoner to MM (why does NO ONE ADDRESS THAT? it even got noticed on talk pages by admins like LessHeardVanU), and his PLUGGING OF HIS OWN BOOK throughout WP articles.

That he edited from a DTCC computer on Christmas Day 2006 is just a weird bizarre event that is beyond even my concept of what that account and the guy(s) behind it are up to.

Even if Werd was off about MM/sami being GW, and not just some DTCC lackey who lives in a similar IP area (which Werd is not wrong about), then the accounts should be banned,regardless of who is behind them.

Slimmy likes to quote my WR work on WP. How bout this.
