web logs *do* record IPs. I understand that, I'm happy with it.
That's not an invasion of privacy.

no sorry - I don't think phoning someone because they have simply
visited your site is acceptable. If they have filled in a form saying
"contact me", yes, that's fine, obviously. Visiting a site does *not*
mean that you are in the market for someone's products.
and anyway - this guy wasn't selling anything.
