Your IP as you gave it traces to Mt Laurel, New Jersey, several hundred miles from the Great Lakes area.  What's up with that discrepancy?  [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 09:32, 29 September 2007 (EDT)

:Hmm. Comcast is headquartered in New Jersey, I believe. My specific IP is allocated to Comcast customers in Michigan. Following is the whois result I get:

Not sure what's up with the discrepancy exactly; Comcast gives weird whois results quite often. I've tried IP geolocation sites, and they consistently give me results in MI, which is where I live. [[User:ChrisChan|ChrisChan]] 09:37, 29 September 2007 (EDT)
