My weird way of proving a point...

In case anyone has seen the post in Group A's forum that says ''Group A is inferior to both other groups'' I would like to confess.....it was me who posted it. I wanted to (aside from being somewhat amusing), prove a point about how easy it is to withhold one's identity online. It was almost as if i was just a random voice saying stupid stuff rather than actually being a person! I also noticed that my anonymous post encouraged another anonymous post in reply to it...thats something to think about.

First off, we so blatentely rock more ;)

But just to add, rarely are you ever truely anonymous. You are a bit sneaky in that you obviously have been using the university computers to post messages as there are a number of different IP (or remote Name) addresses to your posts. However if you go to the link http://mchome.lincoln.ac.uk/subsite/week3groupb/00000005.htm you'll find this post of yours has the same IP address as the post of yours in semester A's forum (much like how I knew it was Laura Watson who posted that she thought you were hot... which by the way I can set you guys up if you'd like... ;))

I doubt group A would bother to check the IP address. That's the problem with the internet people always forget to check the source and the validity of it. I would of never thought to do that, am bad enough trusting people when there f2f.
