Only a fool using the internet will think nobody can see their information. The net is an opened book. No matter where you use email..including your internet provider..will see your isp...just like they claim yahoo mail does. It was always this way and will always be this way.

Every forum you use allows the moderators to see your isp.

Any site you land on..can show info on you. Many times, there is a little obscure icon..on webpages, that allows the webmaster of that site..or the owner of a forum, not only able to see your isp..but how you got to their site (if you clicked on a link or if you had it bookmarked), they also can see what operating system you are using, what version and where in the world you live. Anyone can can put this info gathering gismo on their website..and its free.

You are NOT anonymous on the internet..far from it.

Yep. I had it on my site for awhile when we were getting trolls. Freaked a few out when I told them their real names, addresses etc. had been turned over to authorities. LOL. Got rid of them fast that way.

These days though you need a warrant to garner the information, but the technology has been around for a long time.
