[WikiEN-l] Re: Notice to an Admin

Mon May 30 16:54:45 UTC 2005

I sent a response to this to the en-l mailing list yesterday, but it has not 
appeared. I am attempting to send it again.

If I do not see it this time, I will assume that one of you has taken the 
step of removing me from the list for rightfully bringing my complaints. 
This would be expected from the power-mad admins who seem to be in control.

On to David Gerard's laughable assertions:

As for same pages of interest, no, we don't, as my edits will attest: 
second, even if we did, Wikipedia has policy regarding that, which I have 
already pointed out.

As for the IP, David Gerard insists that Roadrunner keeps users on the same 
IP "for months": actually, my record time for keeping an IP has been two 
weeks. Your IP only stays static if your cable modem stays online, and 
thanks to large-scale construction in my area, we are regularly hit with 
brownouts and blackouts, not to mention cable service downtimes.

If a "Cranston Snerd" has edited Wikipedia, I'd like to see a reference. 
Since I only edit with one account (named Enviroknot), that is obviously a 
fake account set up by someone who is reading this list and attempting to 
discredit me.

I also want Mel Etitis, his puppet Yuber, and whichever else of you have 
been defacing my user page to stop it. I have already warned Etitis and 
Yuber repeatedly.
