On the other hand, I do believe it might be true that some dwellars have somehow accessed Redux's password and have been logging in for him.

A plant in this context is simply someone who is working with or for others without disclosing it. How long that person has been known to anyone doesn't negate the possibility.

The IP addresses of anyone else using Redux's account would show up on the Admin board as being different from Redux's unless they are collocated; or, they went through the trouble of networking computers (voluntarily or by hacking).

While the assurances of anonymous posters never carry the same weight as those who are better known, I wouldn't call someone a plant just because they take chlorophyll tablets to reduce odor when they pass gas.

Surprised.

In that context, there are plenty of them here, unless you mean only thru one acct in which case I've no idea.

I don't think they are checking that info all the time. That seems way too laborious.
However, if he travels and uses a different computer wouldn't that result in a different IP address?
Does using the same computer from different locations produce a unique IP address?
