Are those numbers the IP addresses?
I am embarrassed to note that I've posted 1700 messages (Walter's done 4255),
most of which were from Australia (100 or so from the UK last month), but that'd
be from only about 3 addresses.
Can you do a trawl by poster, see who else is a total gasbag?

One post can be from one IP, and another from a completely other one. And, more, AOL is very popular in America - it's possible that the number for America is much higher than it should be. Not that there's anything you can do about that. -[Unknown]

It is caused by ISPs that use DHCP (dynamically assigned IP addresses) which is virtually all of them. Usually you have to pay extra to get what is called a "static" IP - one that does not change. My IP, as an example, changes about every three days. If I were to change my router from keep alive to "when needed", it would probably change every few hours. -[Unknown]

Of course IP address are not always accurate. Most people use at least
two IP addresses and that's not including using different machines or
changing internet providers. But it's interesting, thanks for this info.
