A notion...

That's like saying that all scientists are astronauts. Or all engineers are pilots.
AFAIK, Butters had nothing to do with the paranet. Harry and Elaine took Anna's weregild and used it to set up the site. I assume that Elaine hired a professional web developer. Otherwise. It wouldn't take much money for an amateur to put up a website. You can do it for as little as $6/month. All you need to do is rent a domain and some hosting. For a niche market like this one, you won't need much space /options. And there are a ton of forums that you can use for free, without paying a license.
Editing code to your personal preferences only takes brains and a little technical know how (and lots of frustrating trial-and-error). Actually creating new code takes years of study.

Do we even know what "the paranet" *IS*?
Is it a website, with user-forums?
Is it a wiki space?
Is it just mailing-list and FTP archive?

Everything we have seen has been filtered through Harry, who can’t use. Butters POV was Day One which didn’t reference it.
Perhaps we need a Paranoid Gary POV as “the man in the chair” with the Paranet. I bet Jim can’t write a good cyber punk story in the Dresdenverse where it’s protagonist doesn’t even leave his chair. Not his style at all.
You could have Gary tracking Harry because of the effect he has on Electronics like CCTV cameras, cell towers etc question does each Wizard have their own “fingerprint” as regards the interference pattern? Unless they go thorn manacles, it would allow even the best screened wizard to be tracked and identified by non-magical means. Perhaps Gary has been keeping tabs on Harry this way for years.
