There's this odd fixation lately on IP Addresses being a very private, very scary thing to see logged, and I'm not sure why. It's obviously information somewhat linked to you and a geographic location, so de-anonymising possibly but it's also how packets are routed back to you. I don't expect web services to treat my information as public, but I do expect them to at least have an access log privately.
