I love Rush, but the claim to have traced the IP add’y is bogus.
Actually it’s not bogus. Wikipedia retains & displays the IP address of who makes what changes to postings; go to any Wikipedia page and click the History tab, and it will show you exactly what was changed by who (if not by name/handle, at least by IP address). Very easy to find out the source of a change (at least down to IP address) if they’re not trying to conceal their ID.
He’s correct, the address they list is from:
