IMNSHO, as far as "official discussion" (at least as "official" as this
mailing list ;-) goes, the answer to the question of it being an
acceptable idea dictates whether it even makes sense to consider
spreadsheets.  Of course, doing any kind of arbitrary spreadsheet
analysis, purely for private amusement, is up to the individual!

As far as I am concerned, if such hijacking did not immediately lead to
bad exit designations, then Tor would no longer be suitable for anything
w/o end-to-end encryption.  (Of course, some feel it already is
unsuitable for clear text ... :-)
