And it is on an Ameritech DSL connection by the looks of it.
Nonetheless, it is probably not a good idea to go around putting one's
IP address in a public forum, where it is easily accessible, since many
ISP's will renew a DHCP lease over and over again using the same
address, which prolongs the period someone may be a more highly visible
target.
