I can't believe I'm getting involved in this, but...

Will could know someone in AK's supposed location who is posting for him (from emails). Is Mitchell_Porter willing to donate $1000 to airfare for either AK or an impartial third party to converse with AK in person about similar-level subject matter? Even this wouldn't be airtight.

I'm still surprised that our collective ingenuity has yet to find a practical solution. I don't think anybody is trying very hard but it's still surprising how little our knowledge of cryptography and such is helping us.

Anyway yeah, I really don't think IPs provide much evidence. As wedrifid said if the IPs don't match it only means that at least I'm putting a minimal amount of effort into anonymity.
