Thank you for that Steve sorry it blew up in your face Here s a puzzle I ll leave you all with I never noticed the detail of that other AN I thread During the period leading me upto asking for an unblock when I m openly discussing it with people about the steps I need to take to get unblocked and I know that people are going to be checking my recent history closely I decide to get engaged in some page vandalism with an ISP not a specific ip just one that can be linked to a particular ISP that can be pointed at as belonging to me right at that time Here is a prediction if I come back in six months and start asking again I ll get engaged in vandalism It s a neat trick because it s impossible for me to counter because of course I m going to say it s not me aren t I Well played
