A poster named "MSN Fanboy" who mainly posts on the "news" page is claiming he has accessed the email addresses that posters used when they registered here at PeakOil.com. MSN Fanboy also claims he can trace the IP address that people are using when they make posts here. Here's what MSN Fanboy just posted in the "Free fall in oil prices could fuel recession" thread on the news page:

Well, that’s interesting…
I pinged of Nonys email address thinking it was xxx Plantxx posting under different names and I got Marmico.
MARMICO & NONY HAVE THE SAME IP ADDRESS…
ALMOST AS IF THE COMMENTS ARE COMING FROM THE SAME PERSON.
xxx Plant, you don’t need to give me your email address now xxxx
Good thing that Email Address (required) is there LOL

So.....
Has MSN Fanboy actually breached security at this site and gained access to the email addresses that people used to register here? Can MSN Fanboy actually get other poster's IP addresses when they post at this site?
PS---Thanks mods for maintaining PeakOil.com as such a great site.
