Whilst I would not disagree with anything you have have posted, however as its your first post it would seem that you also might be an alias.?

I'm also curious how you traced the TCP/IP address to link it to an actual address with such certainty.

P.S. Please feel free to make it as technical as you want, I'll do my best to understand it.

Yes - I was wondering that too. It'd be nice to know - cos I didn't think you could do that so easily out here. Unless, of course, you have "inside information"?

Have done my own bit of checking up on this story pros and cons.
Firstly it is not too hard to get an IP address (according to Steve who used to run this site) another thing Steve said,when he was accused of using a fictitious name to have a go at another Loall web site,was that more than one person could have use of the same pc,and also it would not tell you if wi fi was in use (i.e it could have been used in an internet café.
I personally have stated on this forum of the amount of people who supposedly write only one comment which is guaranteed to wind people up to answer that person,(who never ever comments a second time)
What I do find weird is that on checking back on the name Roger in the past threads, I have come across three comments made by him, One was complaining to ASL that they had taking off a comment that he had made which included a link to another site, which showed some photos of a storm in La Marina that occurred a few years earlier. I also found in two other comments that Roger had named a Local Forum, Which just happens to be La Marina Info, which is run by Mark Lewis,and includes Council details and normally anti Jeff comments.
Personally I always find it hard to believe any politicians, So I leave you all the choice.
Is Mark guilty of pretending to be Roger, and just to cover myself, Is jeff really spotted.The choice is yours

Alan,
Trust me, its quite difficult even if you had the originating email address, which surely can't be known unless you have access to the admin id of this site. Even then, to use traditional mail as an example, its like admin only knowing the postman who delivered the letter. You would require a court judgement to go further and even then, you may be able to identify the postbox that it was originally sent. Web sites can be traced because you have to register the domain name (although you can get past that nowadays).

As usual you are more than likely correct about the IP. I wont allow anyone to say otherwise.
My knowledge of Computers is practically zero,(anything awkward, and I make a phone call to my Son In Law.
I was stating what Steve had said, when he was running this site, and was trying to convince myself and others about some nastiness that was going on between this site and another local forum,

Well I think that's the last of 'Spotty'. It does seem such a shame that different charities are advocating boycotts of the "opposition" . Perhaps they should ALL turn on the TV and see whats happening in the Philippines and then reflect on THEIR petty political bickering.

Its all very sad as I am sure that all the charity's work very hard . We have so many different charity shops wouldn't it be nice if the all put a joint add in the paper stating their address and which charity they support. Letting people know that La marina is the place were you can buy some really good second hand bargain or just support the charity of your choice. Come on ,work together !!!

Well said Rose, then we can all choose what we want to give to the charity of our choice, or not to give if we dont want to.
Nobody forces anyone in these shops, nobody forces anyone to give. Personal choice.

spottedcostablanca, what is your real name ???? If I was making this kind of comments about someone else I would have my real name and photo on the forum, you come across as a trouble maker to me. Minimum you could do is show the real you, hiding under that name does make you look a bit of a plonker to be honest.

Talk about the kettle and the pot! Why do you not have your photo and correct name on here as you are also calling people names.
You also accused someone of making racist remarks previously.

well well well, someone called something somewhere posted something rather nasty about someone 4 days ago....hummmmm I wonder what was the point ?? no response from you since then,,,,bit a waste of time really, you know where the shop is and if you have a problem with that person just go there and sort it out face to face that what I would do if I were you, just saying

Yawn bloody Yawn!!!!!!!!!

If some one is commenting about some one can you please address it to that person so we all know who is being talked about. Otherwise we haven't a clue.

spottedcostablanca, I would like you to know that I have lived on this urb. for 24 years, and no one has worked harder than Mark Lewis helping the animals. I've known him on several occasions to be out at 3 or 4 in the morning helping animals in difficulty. His daughter is also helping him and they both work very hard collecting strays and throw aways. So as you obviously don't know what you are talking about, I SHOULD KEEP QUIET.
