This discussion is no go. What good is someones IP? With most using a web mail account (yahoo, gmail etc) it would take a c*urt order to get the identity of a user. That is counter-purpose of a community network.
After having been part of the Goa-net since 1995, I would for one keep away from most Goans on the GoaNet: some of them show signs of m*ntal illness (in turn abusive). There are others who cannot manage one original post but want to know others identity. To this I say, if someone is contributing to a discussion and has a valid point (and not abusive, who cares about his or her identity?). And don't quote GoaNet rules- its a community driven initiative, you don't own it! Take a look at this flickr picture posted by a GoaNetter (?). Is this what GoaNet and getting someones identify about? Really? This is low. http://www.flickr.com/photos/45002...@n00/941985141/ sco D <[email protected]> wrote: > On 30 August 2010 05:19, Jim Fernandes > >> Folks, >> >> If you haven't been following a separate thread, I wanted to bring to >> your attention, that I had openly challenged a fellow GoaNetter >> Mervyn Lobo ( Email ID: [email protected] ) to trace my IP from my >> most recent posting on GoaNet. >> >> The challenge was that if he could locate and post my IP on GoaNet by >> 12 noon Monday Aug 30th, I would donate $100 to GoaNet in his honor. >> >> If he failed to do so, he was asked to donate a mere $10 to GoaNet in >> my honor. > > > From: Gabe Menezes > Sent: August-30-10 6:24 PM > > QUESTION: Why doesn't our own Bosco, I.T. guru, throw in his knowledge and > inform us exactly what is possible and what isn't?
