Around the time Wed May 18 08:41:00 UTC 2005, I was given "User is blocked" on attempt to edit "Software transactional memory", and then "Wikipedia:Sandbox" (to check whether I'm actually blocked) on the English Wikipedia.
I'm not a registered wikipedian, and doesn't have a user page. The single edit that I recall in the past few days was a spelling correction in some page about a person (I can't recall which).
I use a firewall and a NAT, but that shouldn't affect my wiki browsing. The blocking page requests me to include the sentence "Your IP address is 217.132.73.18" in my requests, so here I do. It is notable that 212.132 doesn't appear in Special:Ipblocklist at this time.
I'd very much like this to be fixed, or at least get a reply. I'm not a user of the mailing list, but I will check it for updates every few hours.
Thanks in advance, Amir Livne Bar-On (lightstep)

I don't see the IP listed either. That IP is CBL217-132-73-18.bb.netvision.net.il, which looks like an individual cable IP.
I don't see any automatic IP blocks around that time either ...
