Not exactly....

For years I had a static IP through my provider (D&P Communications) and paid extra per month for it, reason was for security at the rackspace end in Atlanta, Georgia.  When my IT switched from Atlanta for Toronto and changed the front end software, I was able to go back to a floating IP and loose the charges.

All my service provider does is provide the electronic conduit for the transmission of my input to Toronto, Canada, where my electronic image is handled on the server there.  It could very well be routed through Australia to Toronto via undersea cables...

Typically a service provider will change IP address assignments on a random schedule as predicated by their software, sometimes, every month or every couple months.  Thats called floating.  Static is, it remains constanr.  Mine was constant again, for security reasons in the Atlanta hub.

There are buildings in major cities that hold nothing but floors and floors of servers that route data, 24/7.  All climate controlled and manned by small staff of techinicians that monitor the health of the servers, why my IT switched.  He found out his servers weren't being monitored correctly.

There is such a building in Southfield, Michigan, on the north end of M39.  Nothing in there but electronics.  It even has armed guards.

My IT refers to it as the 'information highway'.

I'm in a little different scenario that most posters on here because I lease a .com site and have for years.

You own nothing but your intellectual property on the net, you lease everything and anyone can read anything you post on a publically viewed forum such as this one which why I maintain be careful what you post as anyone anywhere can read it.  Thats why everyone worldwide knows Frenchfry, and TPP are idiots.

We used to have a regular poster here that in his signature line was a picture of Obama holding a poster.....and on the poster was your IP address.  I remember the accuracy of that thing after seeing it change from if I was at home and not on the company network, versus when I was on the company network.

Update the Ignore feature use IP address and not user name.

Appears my guess about you being behind the scenes at the forum was correct.
Wasn't sure since you seemed to know so much about the dead obese guy that owned that towing company (Jerry’s Newport Standard Towing)
Still trying to connect the dots about why you chose me to stalk.

You're not using enough tin foil...   

The paranoia can get through until you apply much much more...
