Hi Gerard,

It looks like the website that sent you their logs didn't filter out other people's IP addresses.
This reduces the privacy of the users of that website.

Please be careful when posting logs like this.
The logs you posted link users' IP addresses and their web browsing.

One of Tor's goals is to make it difficult to link Internet users' IP addresses and their Internet traffic.
We don't want our mailing list messages to go against this goal.
(Even if the Internet users involved are not using Tor or another IP anonymisation method.)
