"It's not a bug, it's a feature."

Your ISP probably connects to the internet via a proxy or gateway. AOL and several other major ISPs use this method, as do many schools and corporations. If another NSer is using the same gateway, you and s/he will look like they're posting from the same IP, and flooding rules will prevent super-fast posts.

I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. I'm afraid you'll just have to live with it.
