ummm ... don't be silly -- it is trivial to associate an 
originating IP to a POST

This test widget at http://www.herrold.com/post/ has this 
HTML code to the client:

<form method="post">
Digits only please: <input type="text" name="acme"><br>
<input type="submit" name="show" value="show">
</form>

and reveals the REMOTE_ADDR quite readily.

The source PHP may be viewed at:
