Hello Guys,

I think Alieu S.Keita is not well versed in the way the internet works.
Every email can be traced back to the originating computer,if one has the
patient and right tools.

In fact, he referred to  DR. Katim as an "IPS tracing expert" without even
realizing that there is no acronym (IPS) in the computer vocabulary.  I
believe he meant to write IP's instead.

However, tracing an IP is not very difficult as it seems. The IP protocol
and other protocols used on the Internet defined the format of the data
packets carried.  Included in each packet is a source and destination
address fields among other things.  This is designed in order to notified
senders of undelivered packets.

Based on the information that is encapsulated with the packet, one can trace
with certainty the origin of emails by using tools such as TRACEROUTE or
simply stripping down the email header and resolving the
quad dotted notation to its fully qualified domain name, and thus, the place
of origin.

However, locating the origin of the email does not identify the sender in
anyway as people can use any cyber cafe to send emails. So whoever
Alieu S. Keita is, if he so wishes can remain anonymous for a very long
time. At least he is quite right in this matter because he is a coward.

It is indeed of little significnace whether he comes out or not because he
cannot influence anybody on this list.

Thanks
Mohin.
