If you see someone on IRC coming from 217.44.0.0/16 with a nick that's a variation on my name, it's not me, it's Irate. User:The Number comes from the same range (it's btcentralplus.com, so that's giving away approximately nothing) and may or may not be the same person. Although The Number doesn't use trademark Irate typos.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:The_Number suggests a very similiar character so I wouldn't be at all surprised.
I'll check for typos. Irate's habit of typing too fast and not bothering to correct himself leads to various trademark typos. If The Number is Irate, The Number can be blocked promptly as Irate trolling.
