A couple weeks ago when the posts came about regarding the man's son who died, among all of the replies someone had attached a link to determine the offenders name etc. by the number identifier. I was going to save that, but forgot. Does someone have or know what it is? Thank you in advance.

I don't know about the link, but you have to be careful about assuming the identity of someone based on their IP address. On several occasions here on YTMag, people have been accused of being someone else because their post happened to have the same IP address as (or one similar to) a different post. AOL users share an IP address; posts from different AOL users may appear to come from the same IP. Anyone using their computer at work will probably also be using a Network Address Translated ("NAT'ed") IP that they share with their co-workers. Even if your ISP doesn't use NAT (most don't), IP addresses are generally dynamic unless you have a dedicated IP.

Does something like 68.31.115.233 seem familiar?
