[FX.php List] Different REMOTE IP each screen

[Bob Patin]

Jonathan,

I certainly didn't mean to assume you didn't know about dynamic  
IPs... :)

You're absolutely right, it would be strange for them to switch IPs  
so quickly...

I wonder, could it be that they were using an anonymizer redirect? I  
don't know if anonymizers actually report an IP or not.

I've tracked referers, but not IPs; that does sound like really  
strange feedback you're getting... :)
