Actually, no, because Google Groups sets the NNTP-Posting-Host header to 
the IP address from which the user connected to Google. So your post to 
which I'm replying came from IP address "68.73.244.37", which reverses 
to "adsl-68-73-244-37.dsl.chcgil.ameritech.net".

So presumably "chcgil" indicates you're in Chicago, Illinois?

Although I do have to point out that the map makes it appear as if I've 
been busy posting from all over Dublin's Southside, which, as anyone who 
has seen "The Commitments" can attest, is a deep insult a born-and-bred 
Northsider such as myself ;-)
