* These will likely be associated with the 79.76.128/17 range, which is the source of recent disruption on the Reference Desks. If other IP ranges are involved, it would be good to know (within the limits of privacy) so we can watch for their typical subtly disruptive RefDesk edits.

Stylistic editing similarities, including almost exclusive editing to the Reference Desks and the use of smileys. Hustle's infrequent editing coincides with edits from Light current using his IP range 88.109.*.* to 88.112.*.* When these are blocked Hustle appears. For example, Light current, as {{User|88.111.58.133}}, makes this [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AReference_desk%2FMiscellaneous&diff=136473163&oldid=136472983 edit] and this [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AReference_desk%2FMiscellaneous&diff=136473466&oldid=136473163 edit]. Five IPs in that range are then blocked as Light current continues to troll. Then Hustle appears and makes these [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AReference_desk%2FMiscellaneous&diff=136488301&oldid=136487977 edits]. This pattern is repeated, as can be seen from Hustle's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Hustle contribs]. Hidden secret 7's edits are more difficult to corrolate with Light current's IPs, however stylistically they appear similar and they type of questions and answers fit Light current's MO.

{{unlikely}}, and the two accounts are different from each other, too. [[User:Dmcdevit|Dmcdevit]]·[[User talk:Dmcdevit|t]] 07:45, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

: Thank you. I must say I am genuinely surprised at that, as I was almost convinced at least in Hustle's case, even more so when LC decided to vandalize this page today. I'm glad I checked rather than block on the basis of the circumstantial evidence I provided above.
