I don't understand your answer, and it seems you're confusing and 
misunderstanding several things. Your user IDs and passwords have 
absolutely nothing to do with your IP address, and Ziff Davis has no 
reason to store the IP address you happened to have while registering. 
Your IP address is assigned by your ISP and usually changes each time 
you start the computer. Even if you have a static (permanent) IP 
address, there is no reason a magazine would want to store it.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
