Are you saying this would be a free service to Les, without a fee-for-use payment required by smoe.org? > i'm not saying we shouldn't test it, but i don't think there's anything to worry > about here. I would imagine you wouldn't suggest he not test it, since you suggested he use smoe.org... I visited their homepage and it is sparse for info in how exactly they charge (or don't) for the lists they host. Whatever floats your boat and keeps the list from listing...
