OK - if I'm reading the current thread right I think
we are chasing a red herring with 24.42.43.3.
Let me be crystal clear here: The user known as '24'
used the IP 24.150.61.63 when he was banned many
months ago NOT 24.42.43.3. I have only had dealings
with 142.177.xxx.xxx NOT 24.42.43.3.
I'm not sure why 24.42.43.3 was listed on my talk page
(I think they were tag teaming on a talk page). But
just because 24.42.43.3 is not '24' doesn't mean that
142.177.xxx.xxx isn't. It was Axel who first brought
the '24'/142 connection to my attention so he would
probably be a better person to explain the connection.
Here is '24's "user page":

The writing style, choice of terminology, political
bias, and using unneeded "w" links on talk pages of
142 is very similar to '24.' What is more telling is
that both 24.150.61.63 and 142.177.104.168 seem be
from the Toronto area (at least they both use Toronto
hops). But then half of Canada could be using those
same hops as far as I know. But on the face of it it
does look like '24' has simply changed ISPs. There are
too many coincidences to discount.

Wikipedia is too damn slow right now for me to do any
real research but here are some links:

Something written by 142 which was later placed in
meta (note the mention of us 'not using meta' ; '24'
also charged the 'cabal' for this)

mistakenly told Jimbo on the phone that this was on
the annoying users page)
