Other people do what they will. I don't control them. Nor do they 
control me. I'd be happy to host race results.

I find results for circumnavigators searching the message archives, 
either at http://alberg30.org/public-list or in the google search box on 
the pages of http://alberg30.org  Neither give the results of today's 
emails, because the indexing is only run once a day and Google doesn't 
index the site continuously, either.

But we're sailors. Surely we're not in such a hurry.

You must have no idea what a problem spam and malware is these days. I 
don't allow binary files, including photos, on the mailing list for a 
reason. Yet there is a gallery where people can, if they ask, upload 
photos. Most people prefer to use other public photo sharing sites. 
That's OK, too.

I would rather spend extra effort than expose everyone to random porn 
and viruses sent via the email list. I no longer check how much, but 
there are a lot of attempts to do so.

No one yet has wanted to do so. Go ahead. I'll shut this site down. I 
wouldn't want people to have to visit two places.
