[WikiEN-l] My Ip Address has been blocked

Mon May 31 02:54:28 UTC 2004

You won't post your IP address here, but will 
point to where it can be found.  This is a bit 
odd.

I have every bit of sympathy for people who won't 
discuss convoluted issues with IP addresses. Yes 
many of our edits have been made anonymously 
through IP, and we appreciate that.  However, the 
vast majority of these edits are 
non-controversial. When controversy erupts, it is 
necessary to discuss it, and it is near 
impossible to do that with an IP. Either make an 
account or let it go.
