"Brave......" people

[zooly]

Didn't really know where else to put this, so it ends up here.

Am I just being a bit paranoid, or overly suspicious, about the seemingly very large # of users where their handle begins with "Brave....". I put the dots there since I'm not about to use real "handles" out here. I'm thinking along the lines of same user, using different handles in order to get more d/l's going, via multiple LW windows; or, something even more sinister than that................

the adjectives, such as the word brave, translate to the first byte of an ip address. So there will be many users that share that same adjective in their external ip address. You're probably seeing a bunch of people connected behind the same firewall, possibly a university, or a particular service provider is translating addresses through a subnetwork.
