You are autoblocked because your IP is on a list named SORB ..... who did that ???? Whose idea was that ???? I got blocked on ia, li and lo whose brilliant idea was this. Am I deliberately being chased away on all wikis now????
Walter's ISP runs an open web proxy; this means that everybody in the world can use it as a shield for attacking various web sites (including us).
