Yes, I agree. And I mentioned this in my 4 points. To repeat:


- The HWG underook significant work in investigating this and
  concluded that it was a possible risk.
         
- The HWG admits they are being conservative in their approach
         
- The HWG is a professional organization, and evolt is not         
         
- The issue has not been legally tested in regards to an
  international and public mailing list with no membership
  requirements, and we cannot be certain as to how the courts would
  interpret this until such a test is put before the courts
