It turns out that two or more of us on the board currently have the same IP address... I consider myself fairly knowledgable in computers, have taken college classes in them, and thought this previously impossible, and scoffed at others who claimed to be different people when they had SIMILAR IP addies, and that the only way to use the same IP was if you were on a network, or sharing a computer or internet access in some way. But, I'm trying to take my foot out of my mouth now.

It has to be something with us using Shaw Cable as our internet provider, and something weird going on there. Personally, I'm going to talk to their local rep and find out what the heck is going on, and until then, won't post. I feel bad for others below, it makes them/me sound like we're pretending to be different posters, but actually one person, when this isn't true.

I've dropped a note to Heather, letting her know that the board is a bit of a mess, and hopefully all will get cleared up soon.

My apologies for my part in this. I realize this all may sound crazy, and like another attempt to deceive, but there's not much I can do about it.
