[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]How often do you called up/search responses from a single IP Address?  Do you or your staff draw a composite of posters and respond to posts based on your perceived strengths, weaknesses, and passions of individuals rather than responding strictly to what is being discussed in individual threads??[/quote]

I have to smile about your use of "staff". There is me and my wife Maria. She would object if I described her as staff, so that probably makes me the "staff'.

If I am engaged in a discussion, I barely pay attention to the IP address. I try to respond to the message based its content alone. However, the IP addresses are visible to me and having looked at them daily for so many years, I can normally recognize Verizon, Comcast, and RCN addresses. Some addresses are memorable enough that I sort of recognize the user (without actually knowing who the user is except in a couple of cases where the user is a friend).

As for searching responses from a single address, I do that when I suspect a user of sock puppetting, trolling, or other inappropriate behavior. The only response I would make after doing this would be to out someone as a troll or comment on their innocence. I do this a couple of times a week, though it varies.
