So it has come to this? The last guy I considered a bastion of classic internet values has succumbed to the image macro?

Hey there,
I have a wikipedia question. When surfing wiki I have come across a message listing a number of edits/vandelism that have popped up. Now, I know I am not doing it but I am thinking that the school is broadcasting one IP address and it is the students. I am not sure what you can do but I thought it might be of interest to you. I would think banning the IP from editting would be a good idea.

Well the buck stops at me, I have checked with the IT boys, and they have said go ahead and block it. It is going to save you guys and if anyone wants to edit they can resigester. I am not convinced it is wanton vandalism but it is likely to escalate to that. I will send you an email from work, requesting it.
