Exactly. I use my own internet. And the only other person I live with is my girlfriend. And I can provide evidence to the mods (as I did for LastPoet) that at least one of the other users sharing my IP cannot be me. It seems like this would be fairly simple to determine; just compare my posts to the others, our log times, etc.

It would be nice if you could find out who this user is and where He/She lives.

One of them told me. It isn't where I live.

Your guess is as good as mine. I don't really understand how IP addresses get assigned if mine is identical to these other users.

I don't want to start another thread asking as stupid question so I'll ask it here
Some people have the word posting freak, pompous ass, resident gaytheist and other titles above the stars near their name. WHat determines their title and are we allowed to edit it?
THanks!

Nobody seriously thinks there's anything up with you, as far as I know. My hypothesis is that it's something your internet provider is doing.
Ain't nothing to worry about.

You probably have the same service provider and they have some kind of transparent proxy.

The default is set according to your primary "group" (Member, Moderator, or Admin) and your post count. You can change it the same place you edit your profile (User CP).
