Not enough to derive a home address:
That leads us back to the pseudonym discussions: Not every name that isn't on ones state-issued id is anonymous. With mine, even without clicking on my profile, you can easily find out my name and yes, my address as well.
If I connect to an IRC network (mostly freenode, or gnome/gimp) I'll be online as darklajid as well. I ran a tiny irc network a couple years ago and used the same handle. For me that's not at all hard to believe.
