 * Conclusions
 * Likely meatpuppetry if anything or two people working for the same company. I doubt socking, though. –MuZemike 02:33, 3 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I am going to agree with MuZemike here. If anything, there is some conflict of interest taking place but that is a matter for another board. Also, just got off a one week block and has not edited since. As such, I am assuming they are not coming back and a block would be unnecessary. Anyways,  taken.
