This is something that sort of bugs me, people who think the Internet
is this free information exchange with no consideration of issues like
copyright, etc.
One thing the PAML gets criticized for is not listing every single
list in existence. Putting the naivete of this thought aside, IMO,
the wishes of the list owner have always been paramount. I've always
honored requests to remove any list. It bothers me when I've run
across a listing of my lists or the PAML and asked people to modify
or remove them and gotten a hard time in return or had the request
flat out refused or ignored. I do consider my mailing lists to be
my personal intellectual property.
Freedom of speech/information is irrelevent here; what happened to plain
old common courtesy?
