Hey, give me some credit. I have to read a lot of Wikipedia articles just to create a semblance of the knowledge that my online persona ought to have given the kind of claims I make about my expertise. Have you seen how many posts I make in a day? It's hard work to waste this much time arguing about nothing on the internet!
My IP address was being recorded while I made a user account and posted comments in accordance with the TOS? Oh, no!
Speaking of the TOS, I particularly liked:
Because user authentication on the Internet is difficult, the Company cannot and does not confirm that users are who they claim to be. Because we do not and cannot be involved in user-to-user transactions or control the behavior of any Site’s users[...]
Getting a bug up your ass about someone else's username--no, it's not yours--doesn't give you the right to threaten people.

Ok, you got me. I was just pulling that out of my ass. But just because I can't find a citation doesn't mean I'm wrong.
You *DO* know your IP address is recorded, yes?

I'm glad that's working out well for you!
Scratch that. I'm an idiot who misread the comment.
