Well, the 21.Jan.2012 created "H Debussy-Jones" account, has never been used for anything at all, so one guess might be that BMK did that account-creation to prevent it from ever be re-animated & used by anyone else.

If they had bothered spending the time needed to actually examine how NA1000 operates and argues, not just looking at what's been "narrowly" presented in the case, then it'd be clear that NA1000 should be thrown the hell out of WP. What BHG has accused NA1000 of, is pretty darn accurate.
