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?

Shows how naive and ignorant you are, Scott. This kind of analysis is a
standard web log analysis program function.

Mentioning the names of domains that access one's web site is one of those
things that people who have web sites often do in casual conversation.

But here you go again Scott, trying to make an innocent act into a major
crime because I did it.

I really appreciate the subtleness of what you're trying to do, Scott.
