This is a wizwheelz tadpole (2 front wheels) trike.
About the same here TH.
Shredder was my best friend, backpacking companion, house hold comedian, and now is in doggy heaven. So I honor his memory with my username...Shredder
Cut-Throat:
I think you crossed the line with that post.

This is disturbing. I hate to see this kind of thing happening here. Not only is it lame and cowardly, it wasn't even funny.Note that it wasn't the "real" Cut-Throat. It's somebody logged on as a guest impersonating him and posting defamatory messages. It's one of the big problems with allowing "guest" posting (as well as the spammers with their make money fast stuff).
Perhaps, "somebody" thought that he'd teach Cut-Throat a lesson? It's a pretty lame and cowardly thing to do.

TH once said that it is possible to identify these guest posters. I would like that to be done in this case, and that person banned permanently.
But given the info these sites can log, unless you have software that prevents it a web site can tell your IP address, the hardware address of your router or computers network card, the kind of computer you have, the browser you're running, the version of windows and browser, potentially your windows 'machine name', etc. Unless you're running firewalls and virus software that inhibits scripts, or has internet exploder running in a high security mode (most people dont), you can execute scripts on the users machine that can tell you anything at all.
I use the handle "Yelnad" all over the internet and have for about 14 years (just before the net came to be even). It's my maiden name backwards.
