Thanks Scott. I didn't remember that one.

I hope that he's a bit more circumspect in the future. The fact that
he's "tracing" downloads seems a shade sinister.


All data servers have a log file of all the connections they received.
Studying IP address you can exactly know who has logged in, how many
time, what has been done...
This is a secret for nobody.
So why so much mysteries around this common fact ?


The *how* of what he's doing is no mystery. The question is, *why* is
he going through his server logs, doing lookups on some or all of the
IP addresses, and then posting the likely corporate affiliation of
visitors to his site on this newsgroup?
