Vera Cruz posted to mav's talk page a ranting (and quite redundant and
self-pitying) Faulknerian screed which mav (rightly, I think) refused
to read. The interesting thing about this is that she did so while
not logged in, and from the IP address 172.130.118.81 . The
temptation to ban her immediately was quite strong. Now, this
morning, I did ban her.
It occurs to me that Vera might *also* be user:172. If so, I'd say
she's been having us on even better than I thought. what is the rest
of 172's IP?
