And when later sthe tory says "The changes – designed to portray 
[Edward] McMillan-Scott as a europhile – were made from a computer with 
an internet IP address named "Strasburg" ", what do they mean? They mean 
there was an account named "Strasburg", would be the simple 
interpretation. (And this might be another subediting gremlin.) There is 
an implied link between the two editors, but "we couldn't possibly 
comment", I guess.
