Here’s an analogy I’ve used several times before, and still holds true as much today as in 2005 ...
If you’re going to the bank to cash a check, there’s nothing wrong with driving your own car. If you’re going to the bank to rob it, on the other hand, driving your own car is going to make it ridiculously easy for the police to find you. However, even if you steal a car before robbing the bank, the odds of you actually getting away with the crime aren’t exactly favorable. There are just too many ways to get caught and eliminating the most obvious, be it your car or IP addresses, is of minimal help.
The answer? Don’t rob the bank and the convenience of using your own car (or shared IPs) will never become an issue.
