It's the user (I tested with 2 friends to verify). Here's a scenario we talked about in my house: Once potential problem: friends-of-friends. A friend-of-friend comments on something your mutual friend put out, you then comment, the first friend (whom you don't know) can use this trick to ballpark your location.
Right. But you're all talking to each other. It seems to me this same info would still be available to everyone if you were emailing each other. I don't really see this one as a huge security risk...
Did you test the problem you described? If it works, this is the only potential flaw I see. Including IP addresses with messages still doesn't seem like a bad thing regardless.
