  • Reply sent, will change pages, the IPs may need to be blocked. 18:19, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • IP addresses definately do NOT belong solely to newman, the person who sent the email to the mailing list was, but that person was almost definately not the vandal. I will be contacting someone who can determine the true source of the edits.
