The damage is that there are quite a few John Levines in the world. If you
say something that triggers someone's desire to harass you, they will be able
to use your IP address to determine that it is the John Levine who lives in
Trumansburg who offended them,
But you've got his email address...
taugh.com/contact.phtml says their address is in Trumansburg - there, I
didn't need his IP address!
Try finding which town *I* live in without using my email address... :-)
