I am intrigued by the potential of
http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?GetLocation
for locating false posters.

For example, yesterday I was able to use this service to establish
that Neil Brennen had posted a fake anonymous biography of me.

I moved my Internet service from Jamaica Queens to the Morris Heights
Section of the Bronx on July 25-26, 2005.

Since the move, my Verio postings have been from
NNTP-Posting-Host: 24.45.216.80

My last posting from Jamaica Queens was on July 25, 2005 at 4:05 AM
under Re: What's Next for Chess HQ? where I wrote "Hanke wrote that
right here".

It was from
NNTP-Posting-Host: 151.202.94.119

My next posting was the following day from the Bronx:
Date: Tue, 26 Jul 2005 14:12:26 GMT
NNTP-Posting-Host: 24.45.216.80

Under Subject: Re: Chess and Supreme Court I wrote "I will have to
post this one on my website too."

This service should make it more easy to catch the fake posters.

It's not dependable just like any other IP locator. I just used it and
it says that I'm located in Dallas, Texas. I'm in the midwest but not
in Texas.

Don't trust it over much. Doublecheck it against a competing service,
such as MaxMind GeoIP City.

GeoBytes says I am in Uppsala, Sweden -- which is off by 550 kilometers.
Don't know how they got that. Maxmind at least gets the city right.

I'm not surprised about Mr. Brennen's behavior. He misrepresented himself as
chess historian and after some discussion on this list he confessed that he
is not chess historian in reality, but some people think that he is chess
historian and that's reason why he undersigned himself as chess historian
(because his violent, un-controllable behavior if somebody was wrong, some
people called him The Histerian).
Mr. Brennen very often used different nicknames and blasphemed all chess
players (he is very weak chess player) and chess journalists.
Because his behavior he expelled himself from chess world and serious
discussion on this newsgroup.
But, his patron, Mr. Kingston is not too far from Neil's behavior.

Goran Tomic

If that is so, then by the same logic Larry Parr, "Jr" and "Cynic"
are all the same person, as they generally show the same
NNTP-Posting-Host. Yet they insist otherwise, and apparently it is
possible for different people to show the same host ID if they all
happen to access the web through the same Netscape server, according to
a recent post by Liam Too.
So I'm not sure if the 68.84.120.191 host ID indicates Brennen or
just someone else logging on via Yahoo.

In addition to trying to identify the fake posters who posted more
than one hundred fake messages under my name during the recent
election period, I would like to identify several fake posters who
inhabited this group in the past. Among them are:

Dr. Rev. Calvin Hindoo Qusz Jr.
SlamStoan
The Old Professor
Liam
The Dirty Vicar
The Masked Bishop

It has been widely suspected that the identies of some of them are Jim
Eade, Tim Hanke, Jerry Graham and possibly Bruce Draney, but this has
never been proven.

Where was this "fake anonymous" biography posted? And more importantly,
under what screen name? I've been using "The Historian" as a handle for
a few months now.

Sure. You posted it right here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php...&oldid=20103784

Note your ID 68.84.120.191

You did not use a screen name.

You then reposted what you wrote to this group under Re: Salamalaikum
from kalash velley Chitral and added the comment

"Did Sloan write this? It sounds like someone is mocking him."

All and all a typical sneaky and despicable act, so characteristic of
Neil Brennen.

That is Wikipedia, a website that asks that people in the know correct
errors. The biographical entry had some errors, so I corrected them.

Since it's not a newsgroup, I don't see how I could have used a screen

Another lie. You can log in with a screen name and a password. You did
not do that. Instead, you posted anonymously. Fortunately, you did not
realize that there is a way to trace you back and identify you as the
poster.

It certainly is. Your "corrections" were nothing more than the
personal attacks that you so often post here.

Fortunately, a site administrator of Wikipedia immediately recognized
your "corrections" for what they were and cancelled all of them.

OK, I stand corrected. I didn't know you could register a screen name
with them.

You did

I did no such thing. I merely corrected the errors in the Wikipedia

I made no attempt to hide my identity.

Nope, you can't trust it...

I just checked and it said I'm on Sudafed, when I actually use
Benadryl.
It did however state I'm an OLM which is correct, but it said my last
game was played in 2004, it was actually 1994.. Nope.. I would not
trust this site too much.

Nothing proved that I can see...

I think "semiliterate" is a low blow, and the other revisions fail to
achieve NPOV. (Even if Sloan lost *all* his other court cases, which I
frankly find hard to believe, it's not balanced to use that fact to
denigrate the stellar accomplishment of a pro se USSC victory.)

But these are matters of tone subject to editorial amendment. Writing
is a process. POV aside, don't Brennan's revisions, taken as a whole,
actually improve the accuracy of the article?

politikalhack@gmail.com

2005-08-24, 12:31 am

At least one factual error in Brennen's version: "except a felony" s/b
"except two felonies."

Dear Phil,

You are making a very serious accusation against Neil Brennen.

To wit: you are saying that he posted trash that some might
think came from Sam Sloan and then returned in his actual person to ask
whether the stuff came from Mr. Sloan.

Frankly, that goes beyond sneaky; it puts a person beyond the pale.

If your charge is true, then other little shrouded mysteries around
here may begin to lift. The issue is whether your charge is true.

I await Mr. Brennen's response and, perhaps we both hope, his
outright denial.

One doesn't want to think that kind of slime is true about someone
who, after all, entertains many of the same interests and concerns as
we do.

Larry, I've gotten used to Philth Innes manufacturing all kinds of
trash about me. This latest is just another junker coming off his
Brattleboro assembly line. It deserves as much contempt as all the
others before it.

Since Philth will no doubt rant the above is not an answer to you, here
it is again, worded a little more directly: I did not do what you
interpret Innes as claiming I did.
