The tz mailing list had a discussion on this same subject in September,
2000.  Most of the evidence produced at that time indicated that Cyprus is
part of Asia.  Personally, I don't care which continent it's in; the
decision is clearly arbitrary (although there may be a political
motivation).  I just don't like changing things unless we have to.
