LOL...there were matching IPs back when it happened before. I assume it would be the same if they did it again.

Before you start asking for something you don't know about, perhaps a quick Wiki search would help. By the way, if you use a 3G phone you will have an ATT IP. Your IP will change based on the provider you are connecting through.
If you shut off your home computer and your internet connection for a few hours, you will receive a new IP address. SOmeone [censored] me and this was recommended by a friend who works in the high-tech field.
From wiki:
An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label assigned to each device (e.g., computer, printer) participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.[1] An IP address serves two principal functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing. Its role has been characterized as follows: "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is. A route indicates how to get there."[2]
Multiple client devices can appear to share IP addresses: either because they are part of a shared hosting web server environment or because an IPv4 network address translator (NAT) or proxy server acts as an intermediary agent on behalf of its customers, in which case the real originating IP addresses might be hidden from the server receiving a request. A common practice is to have a NAT hide a large number of IP addresses in a private network. Only the "outside" interface(s) of the NAT need to have Internet-routable addresses.[11]
Most commonly, the NAT device maps TCP or UDP port numbers on the outside to individual private addresses on the inside. Just as a telephone number may have site-specific extensions, the port numbers are site-specific extensions to an IP address.
In small home networks, NAT functions usually take place in a residential gateway device, typically one marketed as a "router". In this scenario, the computers connected to the router would have 'private' IP addresses and the router would have a 'public' address to communicate with the Internet. This type of router allows several computers to share one public IP address.

oy vey. You are stupid. Have you not been following along? I would bet that you still have your computer on a table or desk hooked up to a phone line or router too. Does your cell phone flip open too?

These days, unless you're only posting from home, having an IP address is pretty useless. With so many free hotspots for people to pick up on, there's no way to narrow down which user is posting from the local Mcdonalds, or Library, or in the case of my work, the guest account at our hospital, or the airport etc..

You make an excellent point, and I have thought of that.
