There is very little evidence 142 and 24 are the same
persons here. I fail to see what supported banning 142
under the affirmation he is 24, the latter not even
being banned any more.
Or is this an incorrect interpretation?
Please, do provide evidence to support your conviction
these adresses are from the same person, and further
evidence that both require banning.
I joined this discussion late, but I have somewhat conclusive proof that 142
and 24 are different people. I live in eastern Canada and am familiar with
those IP addresses:
ns.sympatico.ca is the Nova Scotia branch of a national dial-up ISP run by an
alliance of local telephone companies called Stentor.
Rogers is a Canadian cable TV and internet company, however, they have little
to no presence (at least as far as TV is concerned) in Nova Scotia. The IP
seems to imply that 24 is in London, Ontario. Rogers does seem to operate in
London, since their website lists a TV cable channel lineup for that city. I
am pretty sure Rogers does not provide Internet access in cities where they do
not have cable TV.
Unless this person zips back and forth between the two cities, I would have to
say that you're dealing with two different people here.
