Rob, again, could you be a little more explicit about what sort of causation you see in this correlation? Yes, it is kind of odd that a lawyer specializing (or more modestly, has an interest in), would register on a message board widely known to be very critical of Wikipedia, involved with exactly the sort of subject material that raises issue that lawyer examines, and occasionally frequented by Wikipedia insiders just a day or 2 before a Wikipedia insider registers and is apparently influenced by what he reads to commit a quite controversial series of admin actions related to a cause celebre on that message board - but _post hoc ergo propter hoc_, as the logicians say. Are you suggesting Yanksox is Ken Myers, Ken Myers contacted Yanksox and convinced him to do it, the other way around, or what? And then you include mention nobs...
I'm just not following you here.
