[Sigia-l] proffing user's location

[Christopher Gomez]

Yikes!  I misunderstood the "proffing" bit on the Subject of the e-mail.
I took "proffing" as slang (or cool jargon) for "profiling"  heh.  (Hey, I've been hard at work here, OK? Sheeesh.)
I didn't realize it was meant to be "proving". Whooops.

Thanks for the pointer Boniface. :)
