I can pull everyone's IP who looks at my post now (through my sig image), a little investigation will easily match up a poster to an IP if I really want to. Your IP is looked at a million times a day. I don't see that as a concern at all.

I used to have a geo-targeted image saying "I banged every girl in [your town]" and I have a log of every IP and their referring URL (which easily shows if a particular IP came from the "post a message" page). Not exactly rocket science if you think outside the box. In fact, I started to toy with having an image in my sig listing every poster and their IP address for that thread, just cuz I can...but i'm way to lazy to fuck with it.
