Who David Shankbone is, and why he is relevant to this thread, is explained in the link found in the first post. He was a prolific member of the English Wikipedia and (I believe) English Wikinews, interviewing a number of high profile individuals and uploading multiple thousands of original photos. He's since left the projects, due in part to harassment that he describes in the linked article.
Thanks. Fortunately, I had not yet deleted that post. Durova's post to which I was responding left the impression that David Shankbone could be a character from /Grand Theft Auto/.
I'm not a participant in the Digg website, but it seems that the chatter that is going on there can't be very helpful for solving the problem.
