Augh, yes, sorry. Certainly don't just give it to the list, nor just
throw it in ~atossava/ or anything like that. Anyone you give it to you
must trust. "Would you be willing to share" is an actual question, not
just a nicety, since the answer is often very reasonably 'no'.

But I didn't actually mention the danger; thank you, Simon, for saying
something.
