Theos-Talk Archives (March 2002 Message tt00014)

With the wide world coverage of Internet, I got curious about the 
geographical origin of the messages, since I presumed the subscription is 
from various countries of the world. Most of the time, from the e-mail 
address one can locate the origin country as countries outside USA have 
country suffixes.

Increasingly many use e-mail address at hotmail, yahoo etc for various 
reasons. However, to my surprise I found that even when such addresses are 
used, the ISP address from where the message originates is imbedded in 
the message unless one uses one of the random scrambling sites are used to 
originate the message. So the privacy is some what limited!!!

Out of curiosity I recently made a search of some of the originating 
addresses and was surprised to find one that I thought was originating from 
a western country; it was indeed originating from far east.

Thought some Internet novices may be interested.
