Comment:

 I agree that the comment author's IP is not the most useful piece of
 information. I thought about submitting a patch to remove it from the
 Comment list table, when I remembered something:
 The comment author's IP address is also wrapped in an anchor tag that
 links to a search filter for the IP, so you can see all the comments from
 the IP address.  That is likely to be used by comment moderators when
 deciding if the comment should be marked as spam or if the author's IP
 address should be blocked.
 I don't see anything that needs fixing here at this time.
