Possibly. But there are so many in-accuracies,

Yes, but why, then, is my name logged into Mountain View, CA?
Presumably the creators of the map have chosen to use a mechanism other

Thanks, Alan. You are absolutely right, we are not using the

The Python list is unique among the lists that we have handled so far,
in that it has a cross-posting mechanism with a net news. Hence, it
seems we are getting many more wrong

We try to get a best guess estimate of the originating IP and its
