I know who YOU are just by reading your news post header from Google:

NNTP-Posting-Host: 61.246.61.59
dsl-KK-059.61.246.61.airtelbroadband.in

You're on Airtel DSL in India, right?

So what? The internet CANNOT send packets BACK to you from anywhere
without knowing where to send it....your IP. That's nothing new or
earthshaking. Every time you connect to any server it has your IP and
can do the same DNS lookup I did. The scary part is what they do with
it....(c;

Look at my header and see who I am. Unlike Google, Usenetserver doesn't
post my IP for the bots to add to their DoS database.

I pinged you from the other side of the planet in about 300-400ms, which
is about right around the other side. If you're interested in security,
to stop the pings, for instance, I suggest a cheap router between the
Swiss Cheeze Micro$oft operating system on your computer and your DSL
modem, which removes the Swiss Cheeze operating system from direct net
access and makes a hole-free firewall to prevent it.

name of the beast, or the number of his name...

You're assuming too many things.

Yeah you pinged his IP. You might be pinging his DSL Modem, while his
computer is behind a NAT router behind the DSL modem.

Or, the OP is no longer on that IP (DHCP) and you're pinging someone
else. :-D

His DSL modem IP starts with 10.something, just like everyone's else's
cable or DSL modem and is inaccessible from the net. If I was pinging his
router, it wouldn't have answered unless he changed the settings to allow
pings. His computer is default pinging, which is what I suspect I was
seeing.....
