[QUOTE="Slothrop, post: 161611, member: 4707"] An IP address can be used to trace you. In the example given about susie's skills above, she traced an IP address to UPS in NJ. An administrator there could easily find out who had that address at that particular time. There are many programs available that can trace an IP address to a very specific geographical location. Your ISP is required to keep records of who has what IP address, how do you think they prove child pornography cases, or RIAA lawsuits? I have no doubt that anyone's IP address could be used for nefarious purposes. It was bad enough that Cheryl and tonyexpress had that information, but their identity is known. It is disconcerting to know that she has given that authority to strangers, if in fact admin privileges allow that. [/QUOTE]
