Most of us don't have a static IP address.

No ?
Most people I know see it as an advantage.

Since aioe allows 25 posts per IP address, you have
the advantage that you can send 25, disconnect, redial,
and send 25 more (assuming you get a different IP)
while those of us with "static" addresses can only
send 25 per day... though I really can't remember the
last time (if ever) I posted that many articles in a
single day.

True with the big ISPs. But the IP address you get from DHCP doesn't change
that often, especially within one day. Depending on if you leave your
machine on with a broadband or DSL setup, the machine may renew the same IP
lease over and over for days or weeks.
Of course if you know how, you can release and renew for a new IP address.
Maybe you'll get the same one, maybe a new one. But that could get tedious
every 25 posts.
