Fans Of Greenwich Citizen Journalists Don't Mind When Someone Debates Or Disagrees With Local Bloggers...... That's The American Way

But, These Same Citizen Journalists Want To Trackdown Morons When Their Source Of Alternative News Is Threatened

To the Editor,

I've been coming to this web site for quite a while. Certainly long enough to know Chris and Bill are two of the few writers who know what is going on in Greenwich, CT.

I can't wait until the local newspapers go under, taking all past and present employees with them. The facts are usually wrong, late, and poorly written. For 50 cents? Not even for free.

I agree with Tony. Trace that IP ADDRESS. Show the scum so we can skim it and toss it.

Peace,
GMB

How to Trace an IP Address: 4 steps (with video) - wikiHow

1. Find the IP number you wish to check. The format of an IP address is numeric, written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255.

To find the IP of an e-mail sent to you, investigate the message's "headers" by using your e-mail program's "details" or "properties" function. For example, in Outlook Express, select "Properties" from the "File" Menu, or just press ALT+Enter. Next, select the "Details" tab. In Yahoo, click "Full headers" on the upper right hand corner while you see the message. In Hotmail, go to "Mail Display Settings" and set "Message Headers" to "Full" or "Advanced". See this website for more information on viewing headers.

2. Go to a website that will allow you to look up IP address information. Type the IP number in the input box and submit.

3. Understand that in many situations you will learn a few things about the IP address:

Which internet service provider (ISP) the user is using. In some cases this may be the user's company (e.g. Ford.com). In other cases it may be just one of the large ISPs such as ATT or Comcast.

The approximate physical location of the user (e.g. Palo Alto, California.)

4. Recognize that usually you will not learn the actual name of the person doing at that IP address (e.g. Joe Smith). ISPs will typically only release such information under a court order.

ANOTHER TIP:

Another way--if you are using a Windows computer--to find out some information about someone is to go to Command Prompt (if you do not know how to do that, go to the Start menu, Run, and type "cmd" and press OK) and type in tracert . On UNIX (including Linux and OS X), open a shell and use the command traceroute
