Oh like your the only one huh?:)

"Esteemed collection" may be too high a praise, however I have to agree
that this group is a fine gallery of works done with POV-Ray showing
many varied aspects. Better than cruising the web pages sometimes.
Come on, post some immature abstract stuff, everyone else does. Just
kidding folks.

Not only Scott is into detective games:
Here is the output of nslookup:

216.254.0.24.in-addr.arpa  name=cx967847-a.crans1.ri.home.com
254.0.24.in-addr.arpa   nameserver = ns1.home.net
254.0.24.in-addr.arpa   nameserver = ns2.home.net
ns1.home.net    internet address = 24.0.0.27
ns2.home.net    internet address = 24.2.0.27

No hotmail around. Looks like his home :-)

It's in Cranston, RI. If you're up to it you even can get his address
and phone number. No use for that though. It's difficult to hide in the
net ... even for me! :-)

Dear WATCH MAKER, or whoever,

I rarely post images, I think it's been two in the last twelve
months.  I try to give compliments to every image, and make
suggestions as to improvements/possible further development of
the scene.

So you can probably lump me in with Spider and Ken, though they
produce far much work than myself, and their criticisms and
suggestions are from a viewpoint that has much more POV
experience and knowledge behind it than my own.

This group including Ken and Spider are also tolerant of people
who don't have a clue, and those people given this environment
grow as artists to become accomplished and esteemed individuals
within the group within a short period of time.

Cheers
Steve

Yes, try View-->Headers-->All if you're using Netscape 4.5.

Almost. To be nitpicking: It identifies a _machine_ on the Internet.
This is not necessarily the same as an individual. (Heard of multiuser
systems?)

I can't believe that each cable modem has its own IP address. I guess
they are shared in a somewhat dynamic way.

I agree. That's what stochastics tells us.

Even in Germany do the cable modems have a static IP address. This is
useful due 
to the fact that it is connected 24 hrs a day. You could also check
www.home.com if you want more information on that.
