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.

WOW UM , Wholly Crap !
I just read this,

I find it best to just talk out loud to myself
IP POLICE GOTTA LOVE EM

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?

Yes

ya know Thumper they have medication & padded rooms for that ...



It was only a matter of time ...LOL

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 ?

I gave my daughter $5 to start a thread on the best engine builder/boat rigger in Monroe Michigan. When the IP addy comes up the same remember its not me.

I'm bored . I'll go back and forth for ya for $4.00

What do you want to be , the best, the fastest, the cheapest ??

Give me a heads up and I'll start a thread.

LMFAO
