I think you have me confused with somebody else. Sam's not the sockpuppeting type.

So your assertion is that there's a large nexus of users with identical editing patterns all clustered in the same geographical area, on the same ISP, and they all happen to be getting each other's IPs when their cable modems disconnect?
Because I think it's the ice weasels, personally.

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.
