After some thorough investigation by Florida Progressive Coalition member Dave Harper and reporter Gary Fineout of the Miami Herald, we have discovered that Jeff Kottkamp, Republican Lt. Governor of Florida, used his office computer to delete information he didn't like from the FPC Wiki. Then he apparently lied about it to the Miami Herald.

Internet mystery solved: Lt. gov. did it

For weeks, bloggers and others who contribute to the Florida Progessive Coalition website wanted to know who ''vandalized'' a entry about Lt. Gov. Jeff Kottkamp and removed information about the age-discrimination lawsuit filed against him.

The culprit in the Internet whodunit emerged this week: It was the lieutenant governor himself.

Kottkamp insists he wasn't trying to do anything ''sinister'' but just update the biographical information.

''To be honest, I've never done editing like that before,'' Kottkamp said Wednesday. ``I clearly don't know what I'm doing.''

That answer is ''ridiculous,'' said Dave Harper, the manager of the website who lives in Orange County.
