Quoting Ed Vance to Michael Loo <=-
When I stay in Hiltons, I'm deemed to be in Kansas
I live in Southern Indiana and use DSL from AT&T.
Websites 'think' I am in the Indianapolis Area in the middle of
the State
I suppose AT&T sends my DSL service up to their equipment in
Indianapolis before it goes out on the WWWeb.

So I started checking out mine. Everyone seems to know I live in Yellowknife: Shoppers Drugs, Canadian Tire, Home Hardware, Loblaws,
The Co-Op etc. Loblaws has two stores but doesn't know which one is closest to the house or which one I shop at. The occasional spammer
thinks I'm in Whitehrose in the Yukon which is where my provider's headquarters is.

Meijer, Target, ALDI and Wal*Mart each have two stores in my area.
One Store in the County I live in, and another Store in the next
County
Since I use Thunderbird's Address Book, all I have in the
WebMail Address Book are Addresses such as; ABUSE@ATT.COM so if
SPAMMERS get in my WebMail Account they will sent their bogus
Emails to the right place (AT&T).
