Hi John,
Again, I thank you for your advice but this one I don't understand.

When I look at the header of my posts I can easily see my router's IP
address in the header ...

If I kept the same IP address for, say, a year, wouldn't ALL my posts in
that year have the same IP address on it?

If anyone wanted to gather up all my posts (no matter what name or
newsreader I used), wouldn't keeping the same IP address make that task
trivial?

Sort of like someone gathering up all my snail mail and reading it if they
felt like it without having to bother opening the letters.
