I think that trying to name and shame someone purely from evidence
gathered from AOL IP addresses which, by their nature, are dynamic is well
below the belt.

Proxy servers IP address aren't synamic they may be in a pool (unlikely) but
most are static, otherwise there would be little point to them (they cache
images and othersuch files, thereby reducing backhaul HTTP traffic for the
ISP - i.e. they save money).

Am I mad, in a coma, or back in time?
