[imc-scotland-discussion] fwd: request for removal of comments

[Stephen McLeod Blythe]

it's probably worth clarifying that for the privacy policy. To say that you
don't log IP addresses is always a lie unless the logs are automatically
deleted as soon as they're created on the server/firewall/router/whatever
logs it. If you don't have knowledge of the network config then you can't
really have a privacy policy stating as such. The wiki-type software is
different from the server.

Just curious, as I'm a network admin ;)
