Attn CaliNotary

I think your attack on me for making a computer mistake was uncalled for and quite frankly over the top. I wasn't logged in and hadn't posted on this board when I posted so I was therefore unfamiliar with how the authoring selection on the posting works. If you would like to reply to this post to see how easily such a mistake as incorrect authoring could occur please do as I had done when I made the orginal post. What I did is select reply to post while not being logged in and started typing my post. I did not look at the author box and the previous author of the post I was replying to appeared to be the author of my post. It was a harmless mistake which I did acknowledge and did not deserve to have my intregity questioned for it. I did notice later in the threads of the post you yourself agreed such a mistake could happen but did not extend any good will gesture towards me after such an hostile reaction to my mistake. I do use Comcast Cable interent service and have no idea which server/IP addy I am assigned to. When I came across this board I viewed it as a friendly area where nationwide notaries could network in their profession, share in their successes and provide support for their challanges. I was also impressed with the feed back regarding those who are having difficulty obtaing their compensation and their willingness to share this with others so they too would not find themselves in a similiar situation. I do hope this resloves this matter and hope we can continue to correspond regardless of my posting faults. Best Of Luck To You.

I never agreed that such a mistake could happen, I specifically said that it couldn't happen, that you would have to manually type in the author's name.

And IP addresses don't lie.

You know if you will take a moment to look back you would see immediately that I realized that it looked like the post was from another member of the board rather than myself and I clarified immediately that I had made a mistake. Just the fact that the IP addys are the same in both the post that I inadvertily authored and the post immediaetly after that I had made an error should be quite convincing that what I am saying happened did happen. Also if you would take another moment before you question the integrity of another you would see that the post prior that I responded to resulting in my error does not have an IP listed so that further shows that what I immediately said was an error was in deed an innocent mistake. I did not type anyone else name in for that matter as if I did not want to author my own post and I was an expert on the board as you require I would have elected to repond anony. Now what you think I would gain on being 2 people is beyond me. I am not. In fact later in the thread I informed others of my location and my name. If you would review the post you would see that someone to try illustrate my mistake replied after yourself and it was not you, thus illustarating that such an error could occur. Regardless I do wonder why when someone immediately (note a minute had only lapsed before I posted I had made this error and I was the author of the post) clarifies an issue one needs to question my integrity. I do hope for you yourself when you find yourself making an error that you clarify immediately you do not have your integrity called into play as you have called into play mine. I thought perhaps when I saw your tactless response to my error and the later post where you had spoke about your fees that you looked in hindsight to the attack but I must have been mistaken. I do admit I am not familiar with the market in LA and never claimed to be I just wanted to add insight to how we worked in my area and I apologize for any confusion I may have caused due to my error. Also if IP's don't lie then how does one explain that that Hpushard's orginal post doesn't have an IP listed but my post following his/hers made in error that showed him/her as the author and my post clarifying the error both have the same IP? Why be so defensive when someone makes an error that if I hadn't corrected would have probably not been noticed at all and really what would I have to gain, I mean really?

All of the denizens of this board have learned to recognize when Cali needs to make another trip to the pharmacy for some more Anusol, and we just wait till the trip's over before we admonish him. We have discovered that his many other strengths -- his intellectual prowess, moral supremecy, professional integrity, emotional stability (when in possession of a new tube of Anusol), personable demeanor (when in possession of a new tube of Anusol), business acumen, civic contributions, and love for children and small furry animals (when in possession of a new tube of Anusol) far outweigh any perceived shortcomings immediately preceding drugstore excursions.

Around here, we refer to CaliNotary as "fractious," rather than bitchy. It means the same thing, but Cali doesn't know that. He thinks it means "versed in arithematic," and takes it as a compliment.

What you say is totally impossible. If you are not signed on and hit reply, the author field is blank but your IP address shows -- you have to manually type in the Author name. After working for attorneys for far too many years, I have to be 125% sure of something before I dispute it publicly. HOWEVER, with that said, your IP address for ItsMe, ItsMe123 and Pushard-Pushpin- Pushhead, whatever the name was, which incidentally has quit posting, is 24.11.91.222. I have Comcast, the same as you have -- I could post under whatever name I wanted to, BUT, my IP address stays the same, repeat - never changes -- the same as your IP address is staying the same.

Hugh told us a couple of days ago to just let this drop, however, you have now admonished CaliNotary in an open forum, when it clear that you, not CaliNotary, are the one in the wrong. Why can't you just admit that you posted under different names -- and now you have even added 123 to your ItsMe name.

You know this is nuts. I am telling you it happened, I mean why would I say it did if it didn't. If you are so concerned why don't you ask the administrator of the board? Look at the post I inadvertingly replied to and look that a minute later I clarified. I can't believe I in good faith go to correct what is nothing more than a simple error and this is what I face. Hpushard's orginal post had no IP but my post in which I uncorrectly ID'ed myself as Hpushard did. As as you explain the IP doesn't change and the only time it hasn't been listed is in the orginal post of Hpushard in which that person authored, not myself. If I was both HPushard and myself than why would this IP be missing from the post that orginally Hpushard posted, as you can see when replying to a psot you do not have a selction of withholding your IP and Hpushrd's first post didn't have, explain that This is the fact that CaliNotary refuses to address as there is no explanation other than it being 2 seperate people and it is also the fact you choose to ignore in your rush to defend his tactless attack on me. In my post that was an error where it appeared to be authored by this person my own my IP is shown as it is in my recanting of my error. To call this person (Hpushard) the names you have is really uncalled for. Explain that, if what I am trying to gracefully tell you didn't happen did happen., the fact that all MY posts have an IP which is as you have listed except for the one which was authored by the person you have so dreadfully slandered (HPushard). As I had said numberous times I wasn't logged in and I was new to the board. I in many internet boards as ItsMe or ItsMe123, whichever is aval. Being new to the board and to be quite honest I really don' know if I was registered to the board itself at the time of my orginal post. In the thread which I orginally started I ID'ed myself ItsMe so I continued to call myself that throughout the thread. If I really wanted to withdraw my name ItsMe to confuse others then then why would I choose something so similiar as ItsMe123?

As far as admonished CaliNotary, did you take a minute to see his orginal offensive reply to what I immediatey identified as an error?, it was this

"Anyway, since you're OBVIOUSLY lying about this, I certainly cannot give any credibility to anything else you post in here. If you want to continue posting and patting yourself on the back about what a great signing agent you are and how you're able to get much more in fees than most of us in here are getting, be my guest. You've already done it 2 days in a row, why not go for 3. I'm just going to assume that your ego needs stroking and that you're desperate to take any $50 job that comes your way."

Now come on, I am just saying the above tactless response was uncalled for when someone admits an error immediately and candidly. Did I attack CaliNotary personally as he/she did me, no actually I even went as far to wish him/her the best of luck. If you really believe in being 125% sure before you refute something publically why don't you contact the administartor of the board and ask before attack me after I readily admited to an error. Can you not see the irony of me admitting to the orginal error but being so adamant about this?
In any case I do wish the continue in Good Will but I would appreciate if you would acknowledge the IP issue as I have noted before you feel compelled to lauch a personal attack. Here is the issue again so you can't miss it

Hpushard's orginal post had no IP but my post in which I uncorrectly ID'ed myself as Hpushard did. As as you explain the IP doesn't change and the only time it hasn't been listed is in the orginal post of Hpushard in which that person authored, not myself. If I was both HPushard and myself than why would this IP be missing from the post that orginally Hpushard posted, as you can see when replying to a psot you do not have a selction of withholding your IP and Hpushrd's first post didn't have, explain that.

SIMPLE -- Because as ItsMe and ItsMe123 you are not logged in as a user -- and that is the reason your IP address is appearing. If you will look at my postings and CaliNotary and the first posting from HPushard, there are no IP addresses showing, but instead it says "logged in user" which is exactly what CaliNotary was referring to.

Michelle,
I don't even know if any of the Pushards in Michigan are notaries. I simply did a internet search for the name Pushard, which, btw, is a very common name -- I had never heard of it before -- and there were some in Michigan.

I'm glad you've seen the difference it makes when logging in at the top of the screen, and when simply going into the discussion forums without logging in when it comes to replying to a post.

Sorry, we're all being such PITAs about this IP thing, but if you will go back through the posts from the beginning, as Hugh always tells new posters, you will see the reasons for us questioning you.

Carolyn,
I will look back as you ask. I guess I really never thought it through enough to wonder why the IP thing is a big deal, I put on my sometimes worn "tunnel vision glasses" instead of thinking there has to be a logical reason rather than people just giving me a hard time, darn I hate those glasses---lol. I know the mortgage business and I know how cut throat all aspects of it is and I failed to think it through. I do hope you understand my mistake was an honest one and I didn't/don't mean any malice at all to those in my profession. My reason for posting is/was truely to reach out and gain from other's experiences as they gain from mine. I have been watching the board for quite awhile and making notes of those having issues in getting paid and such and felt that if I was taking such info from the board it would only be fair to add to it too. I do apologize if I offended at all as it wasn't my intention but I really never looked at perhaps why others would question my validity, however, there must be reasons and I will look back as you/Hugh suggest and glean just that. Well Wishing You My Best
P.S. I notice you are from CO---is it really true there is already some snow in isolated parts of the state, gosh I hope not bahh hum bug

Also if you don't mind---how do I get my screen name rather than my full name to post on my messages? I only have the choice of anonymous and my name----Before you answer I will go back on the board and see if I can figure it out

IP addresses - static vs dynamic / DSL-Cable vs Dial-up

I must clarify some things about this IP address not changing stuff.

With most DSL and cable providers, dynamic IP addresses are issued from a pool of addresses. Since DSL/cable connections are usually kept alive, the address is not lost and returned to the pool. Even if a disconnect is made, the address is "reserved" (for lack of a better word) for a period of time, to allow for a reconnect and re-issuance of the IP address previously leased.

With dial-up, unless you have a static IP address assigned by your ISP, you may get whatever IP address is available on the proxy server. So, if the same IP address appears time after time, it is probably due to using DSL or cable.

Anytime you wish to check your IP address (and other addresses) simply go to a DOS window (CMD screen) and type "IPCONFIG /ALL". It is full of interesting and technical stuff. If your system is behind a firewall/router, you may have to query the device to obtain your "external" IP address, the one that everyone sees.

Re: IP addresses - static vs dynamic / DSL-Cable vs Dial-up

PAW Notary said "I must clarify some things about this IP address not changing stuff."

We have five computers networked, some by hardwire or dedicated and some by wireless. Three printers are networked the same. I use Comcast's built-in firewall, as well as my Linksys router's firewall, plus each computer has its own Norton Internet Security Professional installed with it's firewall. Each computer, printer and router has its own DMZ Host IP Address (which never appears). When I post I have a different Internet IP address (which for me is Comcast) and that is the one that appears, no matter which computer I'm signed onto in the house. When setting up the network and wireless, we had to lease the IP addresses for a specified time period.

You can use the above link to determine whether or not an IP address is by a proxy address or not. You can even find out a pretty near close example of where the IP is located. Draw your own conclusions by using it.

Re: IP addresses - static vs dynamic / DSL-Cable vs Dial-up

Please, guys; this is reaching deadening proportions. There may be 10 people on this board who know what you are talking about; there may be five who give a damn. I know I don't have to read any of the posts in this thread, but there are people participating in it -- the majority, in fact -- whose remarks I always read because, whatever the topic, there is a good chance I will find at least part of their observations informative, useful, profitable, or racy enough to go into my personal e-mail funny bank. I don't want to risk missing any of that because you people keep flailing at a horse that began to putrify a week ago.

How about everybody interested in this topic post their e-mail address under the topic "Count Me In!" Then talk about it amongst yourselves.

The second option is that if you don't accept the first option, or forget this topic altogether, I'm going to start a thread that will last from now till Christmas about my sister-in-law's hysterectomy. Be warned. Be frightfully warned.

Hugh, I realize that you do not like this topic any more than I want to discuss subjective opinions and personal preferences on controversial matters. The IP thing is definitive; it is not subjective and it has meaning to some of us. The fact is that my last post will allow others to determine what they want to know about the situation if they give a darn. Since Carolyn, CaliNotary and I have incorrectly been re-educated/chastised or re-guided about this particular IP matter, it could have some significance to us.
