Thanks
Anthony

People sometimes get paranoid, but that IP address given out by your ISP contains NO personal informaiton about you, the most private info it contains is probably which city you live in, and if it's a big ISP you don't even know that.
By the way, who is ARIN and why are they picking on samspade?

ARIN = American Registry for Internet Numbers

While SAMSPADE is a good, technically informative page, the site editorializes some kooky and crazy stuff.
Read the author's comments on the site and think about it.
