I cannot read it from the text you quoted. There is no indication on
*how* the information was obtained. I am also not sure to what extent
the statement you quote is truthful. So I would not jump to conclusions.

Fine with me to do in the future. I doubt it will have any effect nor
will it strengthen any legal recourse. Retroactively adding it to all
historic meeting records is out of proportion. I do not expect spammers
to want ancient data. ;-)
