This user started editing as an IP (One of the multiple IPs he has used: ), I cannot remember when exactly I started to follow this person.

Note that is the only account that is not blocked yet. Tb hotch .™ Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions.  23:28, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
