It could be someone who read the post here and felt the company was hard done by or it could be a customer of Ectaco who has no connection with MR or Ectaco. We don't know who it was as Wikipedia is openly editable by anyone who is signed in. To point the finger of blame without proof helps no one.

That's one possibility. Another possibility is that someone could have been venting in a peculiar way, even though they have not relation to MR or Ectaco. Of course, it could have been an employee of Ectaco acting independently or under direction. I'm sure that there are other options too, since I have a hard time understanding certain types of actions by certain types of people.
One thing I should mention is that I launched a mini-investigation into the Wikipedia posts before posting about my doubts here. I'm not going to claim that my investigation is authoritative because my knowledge in such matters is limited, but I do feel that my knowledge in this area is better than most people. (Apologies for being immodest, but it seems as though very few people have a basic understanding of how the Internet works.) That mini-investigation didn't provide anything definitive, which is why I started challenging other people.
