katlaughing and Rick Fielding, how do you know that the guest you are calling Janet Ryan, is actually a person named Janet Ryan, who posted the message you said she posted at (I'm guessing based upon your posts using this name) 9:54 a.m. to this thread?

How is it that the two of you have access to this information that the rest of us don't have? How did you get that information about this person? I have done a search of the forum archive and come up with this result for the name "Janet Ryan":

Two posts from someone using the name Janet Ryan as a guest on the same day, in 2001.

So what is going on here?

Do the two of you have access to IP information and ISPs through Mudcat that you have used to identify this person? Is doing that sort of thing legal? It sure doesn't seem very ethical.
