   First they're not quite as close as you may think.  My own design goal was a 
cheap, simple, and accurate driller.  While it may not be too short from a CNC, 
there are certainly things that I'd do a little different if I wanted too much 
CNC out of it..

   Second, most of the people that ever worry about it are somehow thinking that 
having this somewhere else means they'll get lots of great messages that tell 
them exactly everything they want to know.  The real alternative is that you'd 
simply get almost zero messages, this is the beginning of summer.  If you want 
no messages just skip reading the group for a while lol.

   Of course this practical idea never satisfies the few who feel compelled to 
read every word of every message, in case they miss some tiny billion dollar 
diamond nugget of info.  But despite more than a few people worrying about it on 
other lists, I've never actually heard of anyone finding such a thing in a 
message and unlocking the secrets of the universe..

   Just skip reading some threads, it's easy.
