Theos-Talk Archives (March 2006 Message tt00827)

Dear Krsanna,

Perhaps I should explain further.

I had just downloaded a test version of emailtrackerpro and was testing 
e-mail headers with it.

Why was I looking at message headers?   Because  I don't believe that 
Daniel Caldwell would abandon
his turf just because he was called out for possibly using e-mail 
aliases in the past.

Why did I list only your and Daniel's nearly identical IP's?  Because 
your "originating IP"  was the only one I  found that
was nearly identical to Daniel's of  those theos-talkers posts which I 
had in my (limited) inbox (about 25 different contributors, as I recall). 
I knew that I was working with a very small database sample. I was very 
careful not to accuse anyone of anything and I appreciate that
you did not read anything into my post other than my apparent and 
admitted ignorance of the complexity of IP addressing.
I reiterate that no harm was intended and no accusations were made or 
implied.  I simply posted what I found in  hopes that someone
would be able to explain it to me in layman's terms.

You and John went beyond the call of duty in providing me with plenty of 
internet pages that I could look to
for an answer.  With your guidance, I did look and I did find an answer 
which I reported here that same day.  Since that first day,
largely through the use of humor, it has been you that has kept this 
"irrelevancy" alive.

Again I thank you for your help.
