I was thinking about that, which is why I changed what I wrote into a question. What if... someone makes a script that allows anyone (normal users) to get at anyone elses IP address as long as they are on the server.

Or if some kind of error allows them to get it.

You can say all you like "Having someone's IP doesn't really mean much", but I wouldn't want someone having my address, even more so if they have some kind of problem with me. Even though i'm fairly well protected and have a dynamic IP address, it still doesn't change anything for me.
