On the MTBR thread I just did a VIEW SOURCE to see the HTML source code for the page and that showed
the IP address for the message. It actually shows the source for the entire thread but I knew that
the message in question was the first one in the thread and the IP address showed up a few lines
after the actual text in the message.
I then searched for a site that traces IP addresses and found this one
http://www.arin.net/index.html so I just entered the IP address into the search field and found that
it came from Utah.
which brings me back to the question of how did you know who it was from this? Did you just know (or
suspect) who it was from previous altercations?
F.W.I.W., I traced my own IP address and it comes back to Roadrunner but it lists it as coming from
Virginia as opposed to my actual residence.
Thanks for your explanation Greg.
