This is an interesting thread (one of a few on this subject, including
in the Jimsch62 (sp) RfAr) - two editors who are in the military/work
for the US government claim that it is their legal responsibility to
report to the USAF the use of a military PC to edit Wikipedia because
that is a violation of the UCMJ. I'm curious about whether that is
true, and if it is why we don't block .mil IPs from editing en masse.

Mike Godwin, do you have an opinion on this issue?
