Please delete this list immediately. Opinions of our

A single source list like this may very well be in a legal gray area. But would
not a list that was derived from multiple sources minus articles we already
happened to have be OK? Certainly this would be legal given the fact that in
the U.S. an alphabetical list of names with addresses by it has *no* copyright
protection.
I don't feel that out-right deleting is in order. A merger with the other lists
first *is*.
