No, better not.
It's under the jurisdiction of the only nation responsible enough to house such
dangerous materials.
Sealand would be named as a member of the Axis of Evil.
Subsequently, Sealand would be "liberated" from the oppression of it's current government.
An archive of full-disclosure would pose a 'clear and present danger' to every
citizen of the world, if not in the safe hands of the United States.
Amen.


Seriously, many list members would retain their own copy of list messages.
Len has done the smart thing, tell us about it - if things get worse, we'll
post it online ourselves. Remember DeCSS? ;)

Thanks for the list, Len. And for keeping information free.
