Oh, BTW blogs are so money hungry and cleaver that they can get you ISP just by you clicking on a thread such as this!

Actually, yes.

When you click on a link to a site, the click produces a request which is sent to the site. And they get a log of it in something like /var/log/http

And it points right back at your ISP, and from there, to you.

That's built in to the server software. Nothing need be done to invoke it in most (open source) cases.
