*eyeroll*

.....As much as I want to spew forth violent 
caustic evilness upon you, pepgirl, I'll resist 
in acknowledgement of the fact this site isn't 
really moderated anymore.

I'll just say that I have never had any problems 
with Nic or SMJ.  I switched deputy services 
several months ago and have never been happier 
with the quality of customer service.  I have 
bugged Nic with some pretty stupid requests and, 
even when he is very busy, he has always helped 
me out AND was very nice about it.  This is not 
asskissing on my part, it is a warm fuzzy 
feeling of friendship and gratitude for someone 
who has always dealt nicely and professionally 
with me - without any sort of emotional bribery 
on my part.

And I'm sure *if* all this happened the way you 
said it did that there was a very good reason 
for it on Nic's part. Lets just say that between 
the two of you, I find Nic to be the more 
believable party.

And yes, an IP address can shift to different 
computers.  My roommate's kept hijacking mine 
and we had to do weird things to it to make it 
stop.
