Some key points that come to mind:

- Any nasty person would leave a huge electronic trail behind them
publicly visible to basically anyone.

Actually, the best way to avoid that would be to have a user name, since then you would be anonymous, at least a month or two after your last edit. Which reminds me - if the amount of time that IP addresses of logged in users is kept is lengthened, my advice would be to announce that change
