You know, I'm trying to think of reasons why one would worry over
your IP address being logged in a chat room and the least worst I can

Oh, I can think of others: He's about to solicit some preversion (in the
words of Col. Bat Guano). He's a terrorist or wannabe terrorist and need to

Fortunately, there is an easy solution to these difficulties: use the
computer at your local library.
Police: "You called about a man exposing himself?"
Librarian: "Yes. He was on the computer in the children's room viewing porn
and he exposed himself while engaged in self-gratification."
Police: "Do you know who he was or can you describe him?"
Librarian: "I know who it was, but we value the privacy of our patrons. I
will not supply that information."
Police: "(?) Well, what CAN you tell me?"
Librarian: "Get a warrant, you nazi."
