there's really no 100% reliable way.

key by email address : problem - folks can have more than one email
address
key by SSN : problem - folks don't want to give that out
key by cookie : problem - cookies can be cleared or disabled
key by IP : problem - ISPs with dynamic IP assignment will screw up.
could always use a different machine i.e. at work.

SSN or other identification number if the most reliable IF you can get
people to trust you with the info. keying by multiple criteria could be
usable (use address, name, DOB etc..) though creative spellings can get
past that....

stick with the cookie idea.....

function String.prototype.r(){// Javascript rot13 en/decipherment. run
me for Atrax's signature
        var a='nopqrstuvwxyz';var b='abcdefghijklm';var j='/:.'+a+b;var
k='/:.'+b+a;var l='';
        for(var
x=0;x<this.length;x++){l+=k.charAt(j.indexOf(this.charAt(x)));}return l;
} alert("uggc://jjj.ernqgurshpxvatznahny.pb.hx/".r()); // Atrax, MVP
