Agreed.  Please note, though, that I didn't explicitly choose
these particular servers -- they came from pools.

This does suggest that even servers randomly picked from my own
country's pool (*.us.pool.ntp.org) might not be good choices.

When 4.2.6 comes out, will the "pool" command with the "preempt"
option do a better job of weeding out pool servers that are far
away, and thus possibly of doubtful reliability?
