I'm also worried about spam; that's why electronic mail addresses have been purged from the time zone distribution (and most especially from the source data files such as "northamerica" which end up on millions of computers worldwide). The gmane site's archive of stuff that's gone out on the time zone mailing list extends back to July 2004; has tz-linked spam been seen since then? And...if the gmane mailing list archive is a bad thing, is the elsie ftpable mailing list archive also a bad thing (or is security through difficulty of use sufficient)? --ado
