Incidentally, speaking (under the "Don't let our Fuhrer" thread in
nz.general and previously) about checks on web access, does your ISP
keep a detailed log of your accesses?

Paradise.net does and mine makes fascinating reading this morning. I
have unkown to myself been to google.com (216.239.53.89) a number of
times (which leads me to wonder exactly how much of the internet
Google runs - I think these were newsgroup accesses).

I have also allegedly accessed:
tierra.net (209.240.133.249 whatever, wherever that is),
upatras.gr (150.140.191.102)
and Tridel Technologies in the Philippines (203.167.25.137).

I disclaim all knowledge of these sites and whatever might be stored
at them. But they're on my record.

Anyone else care to check?

By which I mean regular accesses through Agent using (as far as I was
aware) Paradise's own news server. They were not groups.google.com
acceses.

Its more likely that those were ads on pages you visited, with google ads.

Install adblock and have a look at all the URL elements that make up a
typical commercial page.

Looks like Paradise is recording the real name of the hosting machine, and
not the name of the hosted website.

You should know that a website can be hosted anywhere in the world.

Many popular sites use services to 'proxy' their pages. You might
request a page from, say, Microsoft's site or CCN or IMDB and by DNS
trickery you are directed to a reasonably local server. and your page is
served from there, if it is on that server. As I recall Microsoft's
stuff is in this part of the world supplied from Xtra. It means if you
are lucky, you don't have to pull data from across the world.

If it is not at your local server, it does a heuristic search and grabs
it from the next nearest and so on. Mybe the Philippines.....

As other have said, it may also be adds in pages for other sites.

Cheers,

Probably some ad graphic jpeg/GIF loaded from a site you flicked past
briefly.
