Here's a thought a few of us tossed around the Chatterbox this evening after seeing yet another likely homework question.

It might be helpful to list the originating IP of all root posts from that Anonymous Monk character, in order to assist helpful monks in deciding if/how to react. We came up with a few issues/options to consider:
- the trailing digits of the address should probably be removed to preserve some anonimity
- the Monastery could do some quick lookups to identify the owner organization of the host ("a user somewhere at Generic U. asked the following question:")
- it would probably be of interest to track the hosts to see where Perl courses are being offered (and where the laziest students are ;-)
- maybe this is only useful/interesting in SoPW or Cat. Q&A

Comments?

(After this, we got very silly and I won't post THAT lest I be subjected to further bad Matrix-based puns ;-)
