OK, Inmac bought the list (for $10K) from a company called
List Services in Connecticut, (203) 791-4443. I spoke to Steve Weis.
They are brokering the list for a client and will not divulge who that
client is without a good reason. They (List Services) know what
Internet is, they know that the client screwed up by using public
access sites in the list, and they believe that it doesn't violate any
network policy (I don't think it does ethier). They have removed the
public access sites from the list and will continue to sell it. The
client plans to continue building lists in this manner.
