IE many already sit behind a firewall so the IP is bogus. With remailers, and the ability to create a fake id to log on from a fake machine, it would be possible for someone to post using the ID of my machine here at UAB, for example, because current internet software does not demand that a packet that appears to come from my machine actually comes from my machine. It could come from anywhere... That's a pain. I'll be fixed one day, of course...
