Most don't (I don't), I suspect, because users of tools like Google Analytics usually have enough traffic that the site owner's contribution is negligible.

Probably, yes, but with NATing it's possible you could filter out hundreds or thousands of users. Only generally in the residential space does 1 IP = 1 user nowadays, and with some ISPs even that isn't the case.

The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts. The only way to guarantee thoughtful, informative discussion is to write thoughtful, informative posts. AppleNova is not a real-time chat forum. You have time to compose messages and edit them before and after posting.
