To clarify in a slightly less irritated tone. 1. I have checked IP logs when identities come into question, including this time. 2. I do not share anyone's personal information without a compelling reason to do so. 3. As Frizz points out, IP addresses don't mean much if someone is thinking about it ahead of time and plans accordingly. 4. If I had conclusive evidence that someone was pretending to be someone they were not in order to scam people, I would ban them and publicly out them. If I had something that was reasonably suggestive I'd say something. I'm not an ---uvula---. |

They don't even have to be thinking about spoofing IPs. Someone whose ISP assigns dynamic IPs and that person is in the habit of just hitting the power switch on a power bar to turn off their computer system, including modem, will end up with a new IP every time they power up. |

My Time warner connection would maintain the same IP for a month or two .... But some...i'd guess... yeah... |

Unless you are on analog dial up, IP addresses are typically leased for months on end. |
