Janice, good question.
There are programs that can do a reverse lookup of an IP address.
I have just tried yours and I can find out who your ISP and a map was displayed showing that your location is Yorkshire.
I will do another search tomorrow and try to post what is displayed.
The thing is that its a good job that this information is available to Forum Administrators. Take for instance our friend Barrel (or other names), who was a pain in the butt. Because his IP address was known Dimitris could ban him. Also knowing his ISP was important so that if things got worse the ISP could be notified to take action against him.
The reverse IP would not allow anyone into your PC, so you are safe unless you become a ruddy nuisance
