 This makes sense but we are talking only about people (hopefully not bots)
 that have left comments on the site. They are very small percentage of the
 site visitors and that data is pretty useless for "statistical purposes"

 I don't mind either way. Seems anonymizing one piece of data, but keeping
 the rest of it wouldn't make any significant difference to user privacy.
