 * Recieved reply, asked for information on how the IPs were linked to the school, informed that there was a VPN in place with many schools 18:19, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Reply sent, will change pages, the IPs may need to be blocked. 18:19, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * IP addresses definately do NOT belong solely to newman, the person who sent the email to the mailing list was, but that person was almost definately not the vandal. I will be contacting someone who can determine the true source of the edits.
 * it was recommended to me that the accounts be blocked, they dont want to/cant go back and trace the contribs
 * 3 accounts were reblocked as anon-only:
 * 203.36.44.14
 * 203.36.44.17
 * 203.36.44.18
 * information was posted on the pages, along with a warning - essentially "We're watching you"
