Actually, we probably have banned that IP as it had been used by a spammer or troll. Unfortunately for regular users, they use proxies and that to use multiple IPs that make it more difficult for the mods to deal with them. So, sorry about that.

I think some ISPs vary their IPs on a regular basis. Mine did.

Ah, begins to make sense. just found out from AFF, wikipedia had probs with this ip. someone kept trashing the aspies for freedom entry, but seems to have got bored and gone elsewhere. problem is all operamini browser traffic in europe goes thru this address. (Could be 1000's of users...)
