IP 207.156.196.242 is registered to Great Neck South High School and has an interesting history of warn contributions of building up from low activity user talk pages, sometimes masquerading as an admin. At first I was tempted to simply revert them all on principle and warn 207.156.196.242 on each. Now, having reviewed the history, I believe this is a complex vandalism beyond my capacity to deal with:

• May 9th - User_talk:62.255.236.137 added threat ban (I reverted)
• May 17th - User_talk:Iamaweirdo added Attackpg-warn, apparent spoof w/Iamaweirdo a possible sock.
• May 17th - User_talk:Pianobubba added vanity warning, apparent spoof w/Pianobubba a possible sock.
• May 17th - User_talk:Sn0rocks added Attackpg-warn, apparent spoof w/Sn0rocks a possible sock.
• May 17th - User_talk:Whyjoewhy added vanity warning to (aeropagitica)'s Attackpg-warn, Whyjoewhy doesn't seem as likely a sock.
• May 18th - User_talk:Freebondnews.com added vanity warning, apparent spoof w/Freebondnews.com a possible sock.
• May 18th - User_talk:Marcthomson added Attackpg-warn, apparent spoof w/Marcthomson as a possible sock.
• May 22 - User_talk:Shine_on_You_Crazy_Diamondadded added vandal block to Peripitus's bv warn, Shine_on_You_Crazy_Diamond is a possible sock.
• May 23rd - User_talk:24.70.113.60 added defwarn to Jaranda's test warn, possible 24.70.113.60 is a cohort of 207.156.196.242. Note that 24.70.113.60 has vandalized Ludwig_van_Beethoven, and September_11,_2001_attacks.
• May 23rd - User_talk:Gaylord_the_gay_communism_vandal added usernameblock. Gaylord... is a possible sock which has vandalized (blanking attack) Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964, Jimmy Wales, and Wikipedia.
