It becomes disturbing when one has to explain the joke ...
 
   Canadians live in another country, which effectively means Z1_BACKBONE
   is distributed internationally in at least 2 countries ... and Texas.

People need to realize that nothing in echomail is safe. Any restricted 
Z1-style echo is accessible. Some people share it accidentally, some on 
purpose, some make it accessible via their BBS. I can see Z1C, Z1_ELECTION and 
other "direct".
 
Declaring it available "read-only" for non-Z1 individuals would be something.
