It's not conflicting. If a certain IP block is for users in three 
different US states, then you get three entries, one per state. What you 
do with this information is up to you. It might not help you enough to do 
targeted information enough, but now at lesat you know that the user is 
not in a completely different part of the country/world.

Would you rather not have this inforamation at all? That's what we're 
talking about....
