Aha, and suddenly you (ssdf) have to live with the fact that WHAT you do gets
reaction. This has to do with the fact you publish in public.

Or you allow to publish in public.

Suddenly people USE the list.

I hope GOD uses different methods than ssdf.
Bible says so.

Pah - I read a magazin. I read about the list. The whole day it is published and
quoted somewhere. Eric uses it. Marketing guys, companies.
I am allowed to blame them. They are no longer intimate. They are public.
I am a member of the society. So i can comment.
You have to live with critics.

Sure. And as a society that gets confronted with your list, I have the right to
comment.

I don't USE their service. Others publish it.
