CGI::IRC represents the user's IP address as hex digits in identd responses. I suppose I could try using an HTTP proxy -- is there a public CGI::IRC that connects to ZiRC?

"what do you have to hide?" is an argument against privacy in general. Honest people have lots to hide. In any case I have a static IP which means that connecting directly is giving my identity.

I think you're just rejecting anonymous IRC because it's new and rare. Anonymity is the future... someday everyone'll do it.
