DISQUS

Nonetheless, you should ask someone from your old company to figure out their IP address and send it to you so you can monitor who is hitting your site.

They can do this by visiting:

The is a driving question for me at work - I do a lot of contract sys admin work and I have to always ask, "what if this cord / router / server, etc." fails. It's a great way to prevent / anticipate disaster scenarios.

I'm definitely not "Barry" and if you're telling me I have the same IP address as "Barry" then that freaks me out, but it sounds like the send form you have also sent the "from" value as Barry and had content from me (Jed).

Frankly, if I wanted to post two messages, I'd just to it as Jed. As you can see, I am fairly direct.

Regardless, here is how you can prove to yourself that I am not from your old company.

I did a traceroute to your site:

1 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 2.362 ms 1.521 ms 1.766 ms
2 73.121.88.1 (73.121.88.1) 8.331 ms 7.862 ms 7.951 ms
3 ge-1-6-ur02.sffolsom.ca.sfba.comcast.net (68.85.217.29) 8.068 ms 7.814 ms 8.902 ms
4 te-8-1-ur01.sfpine.ca.sfba.comcast.net (68.87.192.210) 7.040 ms 8.671 ms *

etc.

I live in South Beach using a comcast line.

You mentioned your old company uses Deru - who is in Arizona (Whois).

I suggest you ask someone at your old company (who you trust to get this info from) to do a traceroute so you can test this out. You can probably just look at the first two hops (the router is usually the give away).
