    • 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.
    • it was recommended to me that the accounts be blocked, they dont want to/cant go back and trace the contribs
    • 3 accounts were reblocked as anon-only:
    • information was posted on the pages, along with a warning - essentially "We're watching you"
    • investigation is closed ST47Talk 20:07, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
