No problem. And it's not a huge deal, really. It's not like your IP address can be used to magically track you. At a quick glance, I can go to Sam Spade and learn that you're in Connecticut and using Comcast, but that doesn't really tell me too much, you know?
It is useful, though, for anti-spam purposes. It's what the spam team does when spam is reported - put a ban on the IP that produced the comment. (A basic ban, for starters, that just requires filling out a CAPTCHA before a comment can be posted.)
