I believe someone has gatewayed the list onto Netcom, which is available to many thousands of subscribers, including local POPs (points of presence) in Washington, D.C., Boston, Atlanta, Austin, and of course all up and down the West Coast.
Is this such a good idea? And should it be unilaterally done? If there was discussion of this, I must've missed it somehow (which I doubt).
I think this is a terrible idea. Yes, the list is not secret, and I expect that half the nyms on it are TLA employees, but converting the list to a feed on a commercial service such as netcom, delphi, or digex, is not what I want to see. IMHO, of course, but a bad idea. Since I'm a netcom user too, i'll fire up rn from the east coast.
