Nor do I want too :) I believe in people's right to hide their location if they so wish :) Anyone should be able to join and chat. The only times that IP is needed by IRC network owners/operators is in the case of criminal investigations (such as the London bombings a few years ago, which happened on a different network) they don't even look at it :)
