It wasn’t me, but there’s no need for the mods to investigate. You’ll probably just find that it came from one of my usual IP addresses. It was likely one or more of several guests I had last night. It’s what I get for not logging out when there are wise asses around.

I’ve changed my password just in case.

I apologize.

Yeah, I know about that incident. You’d think that they would have posted something like that instead of what they did. Maybe they really thought that they were making some kind of point.

Which would be my current home IP. FYI, this post will be from a different IP. I’m now on my phone and not at home.

Not necessarily.  
“It’s coming from your IP address!”

Tricky, but I think they could make it work.

Funny. But I think I’d go with “the email is coming from inside your network.” As in, the bad guy is using your wi-fi.

Any movie line can improved by the word “pants.”

“I find your lack of pants disturbing.”

“These aren’t the pants you’re looking for.”

“You came here in those pants? You’re braver than I thought.”

A quick look at [this list](http://www.afi.com/100Years/quotes.aspx) tells me you are on to something.

Ah, that could be [_Chatterbox_](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075830/), or possibly [_Me and Him_](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093240/)[URL=“[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075830/](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075830/)”].
