The number of these users has plummeted ;-) @Gareth: It’s been true for I think as long as the web has been around, that every request you make to a web server to get content, tells that server in HTTP header (the package of information sent to the web server) what your IP address is- which is not your address really, but where your IP is generated by your web host.

However I would be concerned if someone could tell where i'm from just from visiting a website mind, those other than ISP's and legal bodies.
