I learned yesterday that hundreds of computers can have the same IP. I realize of course, that when 3 messages in a row have the same IP its the same person, I'm just saying generally it really could be 2 different people. Computers are connected to networks, each IP is used in each network. So network A, network B and network C can all have the a computer with the IP 11.22.33.44. So, if they messages aren't obviously connected it really could be different people. Plus, the IP's are only partially displayed, the last 3 numbers could be different. *Ray*Ray*

good post! im gettin a lil tired of people goin after each other for posts that contradict each other, when sometimes 2 people with the same names say different things. a few of you go after people for that without lookin at the ips anyway

not the sa,me ip, but the same first 8 digits. every computer has an individual one, but we don't see the whole thing for protection...
