Hi Bill,
Static IP's are more and more rare. But for example me, from home have a dynamic IP, but the computer is connected to the internet 24 hours a day, so the IP is always the same anyway.
If someone wants some information from me, I don't really care, because I don't keep any vital information in that hard disk...
I don't think releasing the IP is any serious risk...
