Hi All,
Yes, I did get an email from Davep, and I am prepared to believe him that he is not Jared. He has been a supporter of this board for many years, and what he is being accused of just doesn't seem logical.
I know the same IP address appears on the two posts, but it is perfectly feasible for two people to have the same IP address at any one time, especially when using webtv, which he is doing. This is because webtv and AOL (and others) use proxy servers, and many people can have the same IP address.
I just called an internet company to verify this, and they agreed. This is why it is very hard to ban people from message boards or credit card fraud based on IP address alone. Unfortunately though it's all we have.
So in the spirt of Xmas, let's just let this one drop.
Paul
