Or just post them as a reply to wherever the trolling occured? Just curious from a logistical standpoint...

If all the sudden there starts being comments signed by Koganuts, or Cindy , or Michael, or Me but the IP Address is one that has been used 20 other times on the site but all 19 other times we're signed "Sean Plaice" then yes, it is indicative of trickery. I'm not saying people are using different IP address, I'm saying they are using the same ones but with other people's nicknames. Sean – I think you are missing the point.

I personally can be identified by a ton of different ip addresses. 1. My home dsl 2. My office's T1 3. My datacenter locations ip address when on site 4. My cellphone using GPRS 5. My neighbors wireless when i feel like stealing bandwidth. 6. Starbucks wireless when I feel like overpaying for coffee and internet at the same time. 7. The plethora of geek friends houses I occupy and browse the web from. Yes I am a geek and most people won't have such broad access but it does illustrate that identification by ip address is ambiguous at best. --Sean (but not Bonner) Not sure IP address is really that indicative of trickery.

I was hoping to do something a little more humane. Like track them down. Wax their genitals. And then put Icy Hot on their freshly-shaved nether regions! Aw, dammit.
