Fair enough, sorry about that there confusion then. I read the undercurrent as something along the lines of the insinuations being using address space with false location to circumvent things or similar, and was pointing out that the example pointed at wasn't anything remotely like that, so didn't seem relevant. That was my misunderstanding, so yea, definitely my fault on that.

Hi Gary, I think you missed Patrick's point, which was NOT that there was anything remotely inappropriate with Kevin's use. Rather, it was that Kevin was behaving like the proverbial pot calling the kettle black. That Kevin had no just cause to suggest or even think Joel was dissembling. Even though Joel most unfortunately made public use of the words "monetize" and "IP addresses" in a positive light. Regards, Bill Herrin -- For hire. https://bill.herrin.us/resume/
