That is rdu57-25-123.nc.rr.com (you can type "nslookup 66.57.25.123" or "dig 
66.57.25.123" to find this out), which is probably a cable modem user in the 
Raleigh-Durham area. He may have the same address for several months, or may 
get a new one tomorrow, depending on how often he reboots his computer.

I normally wait until the third offense to block someone, but I'm not going 
to fault you for blocking someone who wrote that.
