I have never edited or attempted to edit a page. I don't even have a login for the
site.
Then how did you get notified of your supposed IP block? What message
did you observe? What is the IP in question? And if you're not going
to bother making an account, why bother with the mailing list?
And in general, what is up with the proliferation of "unfairly
blocked" messages on the mailing list? They all seem to be from Yahoo
addresses as well- throwaway accounts, no doubt, and there is little
doubt that *many* of them are not legitimate.
