If you send a message to the list, then you probably reveal your IP

the above, it appears that your IP address was 68.251.117.96.

And it is on an Ameritech DSL connection by the looks of it.


Nonetheless, it is probably not a good idea to go around putting one's IP address in a public forum, where it is easily accessible, since many ISP's will renew a DHCP lease over and over again using the same address, which prolongs the period someone may be a more highly visible target.
