COOL! You *MUST* be a real security goo-roo!! I hope your
book also addresses the important topic of validity of published
information and the name/address changing problem for security
and online commerce.

More succintly: What checks are you going to put on your
submissions to the list? What prevents one vendor from submitting
an entry on behalf of a competitor, with bogus or misleading
information? Do you intend to actually validate the information in
any way, or are you actually insane enough that you're going
to publish everything that anyone with a mailer sends you?
