Most don't have persistent connections and get a new IP address from their ISP, within a range of addresses owned by the ISP, every time they reconnect. I think that the ISP can be determined by the range within which the address falls, but it would be tough to block an IP address without blocking all or at least many users of that ISP in that location.<P>If the posts from the two different usernames were from the same IP address, as could occur if they occurred in the same online session from one computer, that would certainly be an indication. I'll leave the linguistic analysis to others, altho it does sound suspicious.<P>I hope the whole thing was a fake, as the story is a horrible one. Either way it's pretty sad.<P>Steve<BR>

The remedy to all of the upset this post has created is extremely simple. <P>If indeed this post is real, there is no issue of privacy to be protected. It is a fact that murder-suicides make the papers and the news. Again,there is no privacy for Mainemade to protect, as all would have been laid bare for the world to see by the world of journalism in this country.<P>We here, know all too well, the tragedy of infidelity. We do not need stories that are untrue to add to the drama we are all experiencing/have experienced in our lives. All I can say is that if Mainemade refuses to post the location of this tragic event she has destroyed her own credibility and honor here and has done us all, including herself, a great disservice.
