   Hi Rudy,   
      
   Thanks for trying to help explain how geolocation is 100% accurate to a   
   single address in the United States _without_ contacting the ISP for data.   
      
   The PDF explicitly says they did _not_ contact the ISP so those logs you   
   speak of are completely immaterial as the PDF is clear they never used any.   
      
     "In the event the Court is still not convinced that Plaintiff has   
      properly established venue, Plaintiff respectfully requests the Court   
      allow it to subpoena the ISP with the subpoena response being returnable   
      to your Honor¢s chambers. If the Defendant's address is insufficient to   
      establish venue then Plaintiff's suit will be dismissed."   
         
      
   Note very clearly they *never contacted the ISP* to get the guy's address.   
   They used a _different_ database to get his 100% unique GPS location, Rudy.   
      
   There is no question they obtained the guy's exact unique 100% geolocation   
   down to his residence using a Maxmind(R) Premium IP geolocation database.   
      
   The question here, for people who know more than I, is how Maxmind does it.   
   --   
   One perennial problem I have is _finding_ someone who knows more than I do,   
   which isn't because they don't exist - they do - but I have to find them.
