I would really like it if my IP was not publically visable. For instance, if you wanted to do a DOS attack on someone, all you have to do is type in "ping.exe {target IP address} -l 65500 -n 10000" at the command line and if you have a fat enough pipe, you can seriously cripple somebody's internet connection. Just that I know this is scary enough, but the fact that all you have to look up is DOS attack in hotbot to find this very command line that can cripple somebody if they haven't disabled UDP packets (and most everybody hasn't), is scary to see if you pissed someone off, they can try to shut you down. This especially sux if you have a static IP, in which case you will have to fight back.
Anyways, get rid of the public IP logging! Thanks,
