RE: Hypothetical design question

Only 2 problems...1 Big Brother. There is now one more way for people to
know what I have done. Now my IP is publically tied to my email address and
me. The implications of that scare me to death.

Secondly, the spam. Now if the IP is there then there is a public list of
email addresses that go with it. We think it's bad today, think about the
effect that will have on the internet if that were to take place.

no,
having a fixed ID is not what I'm after.
I want to be able to email the owner of the PC that sent me a virus.
eg, do some whois style command on the IP to findout out if it is static, or
dynamic.  if static, then have some mapping from ip to email.  if dynamic,
then have a contact email for the isp.
