About IP numbers: Every time you log in with your ISP you are assigned a unique
IP number,
that is used by the various servers on the net to route the page you requested
to your screen.
The IP is a 32 bit number, its 4 bytes usually represented as decimals and
separated by a dot.
The first bits (about 20) identify your ISP and the remaining ones are
dynamically assigned
to the individual users logged in. This means, every time you log in, you get
another IP andafter you logged of your old IP can be assigned to another user.
What I've done: I checked all messages since DJ lists the IP number after the
posters name.
I found the 15 messages listed below that have an IP starting with 208.134.14...
I am pretty sure that all these messages have the same author, they are in the
same style.
First he told us to "chill out" and when ask to expand on this posted some nasty
replies.
After some more slandering posts he started as "A real man" the whole gay
bashing stuff,
and yes, he also posted a patriotic poem under the pseudonym 'George
W(ashington?)'.
If you want to check out the messages yourself, just append the message numberto
http://www.clusterheadaches.com/wwwboard/messages/ or more simply, open any
message and
then replace the the message number in the address or location box of your
browser with anumber from below and hit Return.
The rest of this post has been edited by the webmaster. I contained personal information about someone who has posted on this site (like their name, address, and phone number) that the poster did not give permission to be given out. I don't think any of you would like your real name, address and phone number posted on this board for everyone to read without your knowledge and I don't think this person would either. If it were you, you probably wouldn't think it was right, unless maybe, it was a life or death situation which this DEFINATELY isn't. This really bothers me because if you've been around here for very long at all, you know I pride myself on NOT EDITING the posts on this site. This post, however, crossed the line.
If you have any problems with me doing this, please don't hesitate to email me at dj@clusterheadaches.com I'm open to all comments.
