I get posts in plain text format or I read the archives (which are also plain text) so at the end of many people´s emails there is a whole bunch of unreadable HTML insanity. So to cope I mentally block this out this. So when I saw: |The post: |http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=3DTalk:Crass&diff=3D793666&oldi= |d=3D793523 | |IP address from logs: |64.12.96.205 - - [01/Apr/2003:01:05:27 +0000] |"POST /w/wiki.phtml?title=3DTalk:Crass&action=3Dsubmit HTTP/1.1" 302 5 |"http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=3DTalk:Crass&action=3Dedit" |"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; AOL 7.0; Windows NT 5.0)" | |(Timestamps in logs are in UTC.) | |The e-mail address set in the account is Weezer76(a)aol.com (though it |should be pointed out we make no attempt to verify e-mail addresses, and |cannot guarantee that this is the actual address of the person or even |if it is a valid address; AOL should be able to look into it, I imagine |their web proxies keep logs which can be traced to particular users.) | |-- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com) | |--=-jKqeSzfRNXI6rxo1ZJ9/ |Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc |Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part | | |--=-jKqeSzfRNXI6rxo1ZJ9/-- as a block of text I blocked that out thinking it was part of the normal HTML mess that follows most emails. I also took this sentence: |That's certainly highly inappropriate on Wikipedia as an /answer/ to my question ´´Could one of the developers get this creep's IP so that Zoe can call the cops?´´ Which I interpreted as; You did not think it was appropriate to give out that information. Please forgive my idiocy and rudeness for not reading your post carefully before responding (I did this while at work and with a deadline hanging over my head so that combinded with the nature of the post prompted me to send a quick reply - that still isn´t an excuse though). Again, I´m sorry. :-) -- Daniel Mayer (aka mav) WikiKarma The usual at [[March 26]]
