The thread about the Oshkosh gun show was closed today. For what reason I don't know. Except that the last post was by Spartacus. he got off track and started spouting off about alter egoes. and IP addresses. He said that John ( I presume the administrator) ran Doug's IP address and got hits under three forum ID's. Why is John divulging that kind of information to other members? That shoud be private information between the administrators. Besides IP addresses are not good evidence. For one, unless you have a private IP address assigned by your internet provider they are dynamic. Second: They are assigned to a computer not the author. I have two people that use my computer to input to forums and other web sites. Interrogation of their inputs would come back to my computer also. Not saying that is or not the case with Doug. Just pointing out the unreliability of using IP address as a tracking device. This disclosure by Spartacus also concerns me about the privacy of private messages. Does he have access to that information also?
