Seeing as how Mr. Hubley on his web site takes credit for one of 142.177.etc's trademark articles, I believe there is every reason to believe that Hubley and 142.177.etc are one and the same, unless there is some evidence to the contrary.
However, I must take issue with the implied suggestion some have made that we undertake to bombard Hubley with e-mail, phone calls, legal threats, and personal visits. Such a response would be ineffective and inconsistent with our core values. In particular, it would be our misfortune to believe that we hold some sort of trump card which we can play to win the trick, as nothing could be further from the truth. Our strength is in numbers and cumulative tenacity. Revert and delete as necessary. Carry on.

I'm not sure what the point of all this was, but anyhow for anyone who doesn't understand what this is about, there is a longstanding theory that '24' is Craig Hubley. I'm less certain about '142'.
Nonetheless, I'd like to point out that Mr. Hubley's interesting political theories are unrelated to his ban, which is on strictly behavioral grounds. Lots of people, and I include myself without hesitation or reservation, believe all manner of things that the majority might find ludicrous, but so long as they can work together in a friendly and peaceful way, they are welcome here.
