The technique isn't foolproof. People using a dial-up connection can't be traced beyond their Internet service provider--which could be in an different area of the country--and it doesn't account for proxy services like Anonymizer.

I thought it should read, "which could be in a different area. I thought "an" was only used when the beginning letter of the next word was a vowel
