Yeah, if you know nothing about how computers work and use windoze you probably don't mind others having your IP address. However, if someone malicious gets it, it makes it a lot easier to monitor things, and any programs you have running can be exploited, and it's a whole mess. We talked once about having scripting features that needed Stefan or perhaps a GST member or so to be the least one to save it in order for certain things to work, that way we could ensure that it wasn't faulty and that it didn't do anything bad.
