Phishing is not illegal, nor is posting with multiple user names (obviously) . A single user posting with multiple user names is against the OSO rules though. Most companies use some type of firewall device and a router that does address translation for protection. I know at our company (for example) we do this. To the outside world, there is one IP address, but internally there is a non routable IP addresses used. I have the same at home! So......I guess if they have a similar IT setup, there could be three different folks at Ateco that have signed up that are......posting, and they would show here on OSO as the same IP address.

Since we're talking about IP's. What comes up when I post from my shop puter, then from my IPhone, and also from my home puter?
Would that show three different IP address?

Thanks for the lesson on IP addresses.

I think the elephant in the room is what is the position of OSO re what has happened here.
Are you saying that perhaps 2 people with computors at the same address talked to one another here ? Without knowing ?

Or are you saying Oh well who gives a chit? No biggie ?
