Visiting Huizhou (197 = 198 = 206 = 196)

Below is bit of a log from a site run by the Chinese government for the administrative district of Huizhou  is highly suggestive of how Rogers worked.  The links are all dead now, which is probably just as well since I don't read Chinese. Still, they give an idea of one surfer's progress.

There seem to be three people visiting the site at the same, one of them is from Beijing (211.155.36.46, nos. 2, 6, 12-15), another from Chengdu (218.6.192.132: no. 9), and the third a Rogers customer from Ontario, whose IP is shifting (nos. 1, 3-5, 7-8, 10-11).

Beginning at the bottom (no. 1), our Rogers' customer has posted something to forum 5 with x.x.x.198; a minute later, he looks at forum 5 (nos. 3-4), but now has x.x.x.197; he goes to read post (?) 25 of forum 5 (no. 5), but with x.x.x.198 again; then, still x.x.x.198, he looks at forum 15 (no. 7), but within seconds his IP becomes x.x.x.206 (no. 8), then x.x.x.197 (no. 10), then x.x.x.196 (no. 11).

Addendum.  From the same site, the log from Feb. 27, 2002, shows that x.x.x.204 = x.x.x.198.

Addendum 2.  From the same site, the log from March 11, 2002, shows that x.x.x.197 = x.x.x.198 = x.x.x.205.

Addendum 3.  From the same site, the logs from March 14, 2002, and March 21, 2002, show that x.x.x.198 = x.x.x.203
