scribbler: Each computer on the internet has a unique IP (Internet Protocol) address. That address is being recorded with each post.

In some cases, the addresses recorded might be the address of the user's "proxy server" (which I won't get into).

IP addresses are registered, so it may be possible to locate the posting computer.
