I have mixed feelings about this. What would be the impact on
commercial involvement in any of the official activities of the DML? It
kind of goes against the purpose of the list in some ways. Would a
sponsor of the DOD imply that they own the list??

With the information on the name list, and a little searching on the
net- you could make your own complete DOD list. It is not hard to find
phone numbers and street addresses with full names, and town. While I
dont have a problem with this personally (right now...), it does go
against the privacy that was expected when we all signed up for it.

Sorry if you think I am beating anyone! I am just putting in my $.02 to
help improve what we already have. Tone does not translate well on
E-mail. Be assured, my comments were made to question the status, and
give "feedback" as to the current state of the DOD.
