I sent a response to this to the en-l mailing list yesterday, but it has not appeared. I am attempting to send it again.
If I do not see it this time, I will assume that one of you has taken the step of removing me from the list for rightfully bringing my complaints. This would be expected from the power-mad admins who seem to be in control.
On to David Gerard's laughable assertions:
As for same pages of interest, no, we don't, as my edits will attest: second, even if we did, Wikipedia has policy regarding that, which I have already pointed out.
As for the IP, David Gerard insists that Roadrunner keeps users on the same IP "for months": actually, my record time for keeping an IP has been two weeks. Your IP only stays static if your cable modem stays online, and thanks to large-scale construction in my area, we are regularly hit with brownouts and blackouts, not to mention cable service downtimes.
If a "Cranston Snerd" has edited Wikipedia, I'd like to see a reference. Since I only edit with one account (named Enviroknot), that is obviously a fake account set up by someone who is reading this list and attempting to discredit me.
I also want Mel Etitis, his puppet Yuber, and whichever else of you have been defacing my user page to stop it. I have already warned Etitis and Yuber repeatedly.

David Gerard (fun@thingy.apana.org.au) [050529 22:16]:
ElKabong matches with KaintheScion firstly on writing style and pages of interest, and secondly they both edited [[Talk:George W. Bush]] in the
same
hour from the same IP. (I sent a list of the edits and their times to
him
and he emailed back saying I must have made that up.) KaintheScion and Enviroknot have the same pages of interest and edit from the same IP, starting as the IP and then as Enviroknot the moment I blocked Kain as a sockpuppet of ElKabong (who I unblocked - the problem is abusing a sockpuppet to pretend to be two people, not running a second account per se). Which is a DSL theoretically on DHCP, but I know Roadrunner often keeps people on the same IP for ages. Certainly this one.
Oh - and as well as Enviroknot's home IP matching Kain's, "Cranston Snerd" has edited (and signed "Cranston Snerd") from the same two IPs favoured by ElKabong. Thus completing the circle.
