   Did I ever mention them contacting an ISP ?  I don't think so.   
      
   If you think otherwise you only have to quote where I did.  Good luck with   
   that though.

   Than again, although "common sense" is said to be common, it often isn't.

   Tell me, do you think that their method of their discovering the relation   
   between an IP and a user location is their money-maker, and divulging it to   
   the world (allowing them to do it themselves) would bring a stop to that ?   
      
   IOW, that the method is likely considered to be a 'trade secret' and packed   
   into layers of NDA's.   
      
   That would mean that you are asking for something the company doesn't want   
   you to know, and that the people who do know are not allowed to speak about   
   it.   
      
   But here you are, still "asking" random people for it.

   Thats odd : you claim that nobody knows more than you do, but at the same   
   time you are asking others for information.   
      
   Something doesn't quite add up here ...
