Yep, we've all seen this before, haven't we? Anyone who tries to be helpful and share their knowledge gets looked upon as a hot-shot know it all by some ingrates and gets pot-shotted from behind the anonymity of a keyboard. It's happened to me and it's happened to #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&. Bill and I have always fought these battles right out front and man-to-man with whoever it was that was sniping at us.

Webmasters have a few tricks up their sleeves for occasions such as these. I'm not sure whether John used those or is just going by almost identical IP addresses. The only thing that keeps me from blasting the subject is that we have all also seen cases where two different people are assigned the same IP addy by their ISP. Normally happens with some of the larger ones, especially AOL, and I don't think that's the case here--I'm 97% sure that John is on the right track. But that 3% chance saved the guy a public roasting from me. But I will say this, I won't be as forthcoming with answers for that suspect in the future.
