"It wasn't me at the hit-and-run, my car was stolen last night"
"It wasn't me, my PC got zombied"
Like I said, they work *exactly the same way*.
But I'm giving up. We've got people here who work for companies that have
business models that boil down to "given an IP address, figure out who to
bill" - but although it identifies a person well enough to send them an
invoice, they think it isn't enough to identify them.
