Every device has a unique MAC address. They probably use that and any other device you signed in on in the past.

Great advice! I belong to an astronomy forum where they WILL kick you off- it’s in their TOS, so everyone stays on subject. And it causes less strife.

As you say, I would never talk politics on a hobby website except for the fact they have a forum dedicated for that purpose. Thanks for the reply.

A real possibility.

You can spoof (hide/change) you MAC address on some platforms. See https://nordvpn.com/blog/mac-address/.

[sunny bonobo]

Don’t expect justice when liberals are involved
