akso...this moron tried claiming i was posting from texas even tho i

It depends on how much anyone bothers digging into your IP information. Go look at:

http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ipall.ch?ip=67.187.64.8

That's some of the typical info about your IP address. You are posting through Comcast. The registrant's info shows that IP address belongs to Comcast and that *Comcast* listed their headquarters in Texas. However, your IP name (from your IP address) is c-67-187-64-8.hsd1.tn.comcast.net. The ".tn." means that you are posting from a regional hub for Comcast that is located in Tenn.

Be careful who you're calling the moron. The "moron" was able to find more than info that you could, and since you are more ignorant than this so-called moron then what does that make you?
