They can't figure any of that out from an IP, no matter how hard they
try. The best someone can do from your IP is work out which town
you're posting from. Unless you're the only guy in town with a net
connection, thats useless to them.

Stop chasing chimeras and please read some proper literature about
this stuff.

Nope.

>Can you easily track the last five hundred of my usenet posts otherwise?

I'm beginning to wonder if your'e paranoid. Who the heck would want to
do this? And bear in mind that anyone that obsessive isn't going to be
stopped by trivia like your IP.
