Folks, the reason this is an issue is because until now AIM
was anonymous in as much as the client IP was never disclosed
to other clients. All communication between clients in AIM
was handled via an intermediary server. This breaks that
anonymity which is a shame. Anyone who is been on IRC can
attest to the harassment one can come under by someone else
just by them knowing your IP address.
